Lady Liberty on a 4th of July Tablescape

I was working on two other ideas for Fourth of July tablescapes when I saw this ceramic Statue of Liberty figure online at Michael’s last month. We went down to the store and they still had one and I decided that I would try to create a tablescape around it. I am not sure where I found the white cotton tablecloth, I have had it for several years.

As I do with every new tablescape theme that I am developing I started googling the subject that I was looking for, Statue of Liberty plates, and I found these dinner plates last month. They are Corelle made by Corning. The plate says 1991 but I am not sure if that is the year that they were made or not. I bought a few on Ebay and a few on Poshmark. Because I didn’t want to cover up the design on this dinner plate I didn’t add a salad plate to this table setting. I like the red and blue stripe around the rim.

Mikasa Color Spectrum Chargers

This charger was made by Mikasa and the pattern was called Color Spectrum. They came in several different colors and this color was Royal Blue, I love this shade of blue. I bought them on Ebay several years ago, a few at a time as I saw them until I had the number that I needed.

This red placemat probably came from Pier 1 many years ago. I have this one in several different colors.

Milano Red Ginkgo International LePrix Flatware

This flatware set is called Milano Red Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years but it is still for sale. I am not sure where I bought it. I use it often when I need a more informal red flatware set for a tablescape. You can see it on a Candy Cane Christmas tablescape that I did here. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I found these plastic white Statue of Liberty figures on Etsy last month, they are actually ornaments, but I knew I could use them on this tablescape. I temporarily taped them to a red ceramic napkin ring that I have had for several years. I can’t remember where I found them. I had someone on Etsy make the napkins for me last month. I told her I wanted a Statue of Liberty design and she found this material. I love it!

I found this Statue of Liberty paper design last month on Etsy too. It was a section of a larger card that opened to a 3-D Statue of Liberty and I was planning to use the Statue part but when it came, it was the wrong shade of blue and didn’t match and it looked weird with everything else so I decided to just use this section. It is standing on a crystal place card holder that I bought at HomeGoods several years ago when I first started tablescaping. They were made by Oleg Cassini. They are heavy and solid and I really like the design.

I can’t remember where I found this red glass goblet. I found the blue plastic goblet on the right at HomeGoods last week. They were made by Rachel Zoe. They are the perfect color for this tablescape but I can’t recommend buying them because it took a great deal of effort to get the labels off of the outside of the bowl and the bottom. Usually I can soak things in water for a bit and the labels will come right off but these goblets took Goo-Gone and lots of elbow grease to get the labels off, very time consuming, and a real pain! You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets (including the colors I use the most) for your tablescaping collection here.

Ashland Statue of Liberty from Michael’s

I have seen lots of Lady Liberty figures over the years and often the details are poorly executed. I really like the design elements on this one. It was made by Ashland and it is very well done. It is sitting on a dark blue drink dispenser stand from Pottery Barn that I bought many years ago.

Mosser Glass Red Salt and Pepper Set

I love red glassware so I decided to add a Mosser Glass red salt and pepper set to this 4th of July tablescape. I bought this set online at The Vermont Country Store a few years ago. The Mosser Glass Company was established in 1971 and it is located in Cambridge, Ohio. They sell high quality American made glassware and I love their products. I have a few sets of their goblets and a few cake stands too and if you read my blog you have seen their goblets on some of my tablescapes. You can see photos of one of the green Mosser goblets that I own on a tablescape here.

I can’t remember where I found this dark red glass salt and pepper set but it was probably Ebay a few years ago. A reader tells me that they were made by Avon, their Cape Cod collection.

Just for fun I added a photo with an embroidery that I found on Ebay many years ago that I had framed when our family room was decorated with Americana. That room’s decor has changed but this is still hanging in a corner of the room because it is a favorite of mine.

I have been listening to Neil Diamond singing America while I wrote this, very appropriate I must say!

I love decorating for the 4th of July! I have created several different Fourth of July Tablescapes during the past several years. You can see six other 4th of July tablescapes that I have done here.
