Vasque Table


What about a red vasque tablecloth? The table in the picture, dressed with a typical vasque tablecloth, invites Christmas!
The tablecloth was purchased in Saint Jean de Luz, near Biarritz, in the French Vasque region.
Cutlery is in silver, in a classic pattern. Forks are set in the English way, that is, pointing down. The knife-rests (pose-couteau) are in ivory and were purchased by our host when he lived in Africa - and trading ivory was authorised. The glasses come from his family, and are typical 1930.
In the table center, a photophore, or candle in a stain glass like tumbler.
Merci Jacqueline!
