A Polar Bear Winter Tablescape
My husband loves polar bears and he collected them for many years so when I started tablescaping I knew that a polar bear themed table was somewhere in my future. I did my first polar bear tablescape in 2017 and then another one a few years later but when I saw these small plates, I knew I would be doing another one. I found the charcoal tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago. It is a perfect match with the background on the polar bear plates. I can’t remember where I found the red felt snowflake placemats, I have had them for several years.
These skiing polar bear plates came from Crate and Barrel last year. I love the bold crisp design on these appetizer or tidbit sized plates.
The next plate down in the plate stack, a small white salad plate, is bone china and it was made by Wedgwood. The pattern was called Intaglio. I bought them at HomeGoods a few years ago.
This larger red salad plate came from Pottery Barn several years ago and the pattern was called Cambria.
This red Cambria charger or dinner plate matches the salad plate and it also came from Pottery Barn. I really like this plate and I use it often.
I like the larger size of this red snowflake placemat because it shows around the edges of the charger plates.
I bought this frosted white flatware on sale online at Wayfair a few years ago, it was made by Cambridge. It is 18/0 so the fork tines are a bit sharper than I would like but I really liked the frosted color. Wayfair has really good sales on flatware sometimes.
I’m not sure where the red and white plaid napkins came from but it was probably HomeGoods. I really like the thread design on them. I have had them for a few years. I found the wood polar bear napkin rings on Etsy a few years ago.
The polar bear place card holders came from Crate and Barrel a few years ago. The red place cards are from Amazon.
The red goblets are Waterford Marquis Brookside, I use them frequently on tablescapes. I found them at HomeGoods several years ago and snapped them up! These goblets are a bit taller than most and I like that. I finally found these white goblets at Walmart a few years ago after looking for white goblets for a long time. They were made by Artland and the pattern is called Veranda.
The centerpiece polar bear was one I gave Hubby at some point. I can’t remember where I found it. It is sitting on a white Pottery Barn drink dispenser stand. I have a few of these stands in different colors and I often use them to give centerpiece items more height. I added some red, white, and silver scatter that I found on Amazon.
I added a small Lladro polar bear from Hubby’s collection to the table to the left of the centerpiece.
Another bisque polar bear from Hubby’s collection is to the right of the centerpiece. It is marked Carren and it was designed by Roslyn S. Carren.
This is the polar bear tablescape that I did a few years ago, you can read about that one here. You can see it has some of the same parts but others as well.
Not cold enough for polar bears but definitely winter here!
