A Brown and White Thanksgiving Tablescape
I have had these brown and white turkey dinner plates for a while and when I found the white turkey tureen a few years ago I knew it was time to pull a table setting together.
I didn’t have a brown tablecloth but I found one on Amazon. I really wanted a table setting with only two colors this time.
Sorry about the glare on the plate, to get enough light I have to deal with the reflection of the light. These dinner plates were made by Spode and the pattern is called Celebration. I think I bought them at HomeGoods a few years ago. I like the profile of this large turkey and the flower border.
The white charger is one of the first charger sets I bought when I started tablescaping. The pattern is Antique Beaded and I bought them at Williams Sonoma several years ago. I use this charger constantly in my table settings. If you look back through my blog at my tablescapes, you will see it often. A simple white charger is a great first purchase if you want to create more interest in your table settings.
It’s difficult to see on top of the brown tablecloth but this flatware is a smoky brown color. The camera makes them look much darker in color than they really are. The handles are some kind of plastic material. They are marked SR Showroom Italy. I bought them online somewhere several years ago but I can’t remember where. They are really large and well made.
The clear goblet on the right is my wedding crystal, the pattern is Lismore made by Waterford. I also have sherbets, candlesticks and some serving pieces in this pattern. The pattern was released in 1952 and it is still in production. I love it. The brown goblet on the left was made by Lenox between 1966 and 1985. It was called Antique Brown. I bought them on Ebay several years ago.
The brown napkins probably came from World Market several years ago. They almost match the tablecloth, close enough. I was looking for a white turkey napkin ring and found these on Ebay a few years ago.
The brown metal turkey place card holder can also be a napkin ring. You can’t see the ring behind the turkey. I have had them for several years. I think they came from Crate and Barrel or Pottery Barn. The white salt and pepper set came from Pottery Barn a few years ago. I already had the leaf tea light candle holders, not sure where I found them.
This white turkey tureen came from Pottery Barn a few years ago. I had been looking for a large white soup tureen for a while but nothing was quite right. When I saw this one I decided he needed a good home with us. I like the fact that he comes with a matching ladle.
