I wanted to use my white Jacquard Francais tablecloth (gift from my dear friend Elizabeth) , but didn't want my table to look too formal. I opted for square red plates, with a smaller Chinese Qing design plate for the appetizer.
The water tumblers are Crystal Daum, and the wine glasses, regular glass (the quality shows dramatically in one of the pictures! Compare the beautiful transparency of crystal with the simple glass).
Knives, forks, are stainless steel Ercuis. Note the little mother of pearl spoon on the right, which we used for a verrine (another post!).
The center of the table is a colorful pot pourri where I mixed the petals of some of the roses I recevied for my birthday last month. The bowl is mouth blown glass bought at Biot, near Nice, a town famous for this trade.
