Are you ready for a romantic flowery table in pink depression glass? This pattern is so beautiful. Dogwood flowers bloom lavishly all over the plates and make a restrained bouquet on the tumblers.
The Dogwood dinner plate is a great size at 9 1/2 inches, because it is smaller and easier to work with on the table and makes portions look larger. That pretty tumbler is super hard to find and I was lucky to get it. The dogwood flower design is made of tiny pale pink beads that are raised on the surface and it looks great on the rounded shape and thin glass. That odd looking bowl in the left just above the fork is the footed sherbet that we’re using for fruit slices. All the MacBeth Evans patterns had this neat shape sherbet; they are footed and flare out. Cup, saucer and cereal or salad bowl complete the place setting.
Here’s another view that shows the tumbler and sherbet.
People bought several pieces shown right after I took the pictures. It’s almost funny since that has happened several times; all I need to do is plan a tablescape and poof! Someone buys the glass. Dogwood pink depression glass is pretty enough that I thought you’d like to see it even if we don’t have the tumblers and sherbets in stock.
MacBeth Evans made Dogwood and it’s another of their patterns that looks thin and delicate but is quite sturdy, much like fine china. It looks so pretty on the table.
I hope you enjoyed seeing our Dogwood flowers blooming on the table. It’s more fun to use your glass than to let it collect dust in the china cabinet, so if you have vintage glassware please let this remind you to put it out and enjoy a beautiful and unusual table setting with friends.
Thank you to Susan from Between Naps on the Porch and friends for this fun Tablescape Thursday.
