I enjoy experimenting with different table settings. And while I’m all for the convenience of casual dinnerware, delicate vintage china is just too beautiful to leave in the china cabinet! Tonquin Plum by Royal Staffordshire is one of my favorites because the serene grand manor scene and stunning floral border make it the perfect choice for spring.

Silver bow napkin rings and placecard holders in the shape of elegant dining chairs are the perfect accompaniment to this pretty china!

Vintage patterns are readily available on Etsy or Replacements.com.
