Beautiful "Rote Rose" by Meissen

Welcome to the 104th Tablescape Thursday!

Tablescape Thursday:

For this week’s Tablescape Thursday, we are international travelers again…jetting off to Switzerland to view beautiful china, crystal and silver in a most exquisite setting…Cornelia’s beautiful home.

Cornelia recently had a tea party with some dear friends. The children were invited for this special affair and I know everyone must have felt like royalty dining at such a well-dressed table.

Cornelia told me, “The china is from Meissen “Rote Rose” or Red Rose.

“Like all the other patterns from Meissen, Rote Rose is handmade and hand-painted…so every piece is unique.

Meissen is Europe’s first porcelain. It was founded 300 years ago (1710).

“The silver cutlery is from Jezler (Centenaire).

“The big cup is for tea or coffee, the small one for espresso.”

Beautiful!

Cornelia shared, “The tablecloth is from Jacquard Français. The napkins are Swiss and made in the 50ties.

“The Champagne glasses are handcut crystal by Peill/Germany.

“The small glasses are copies of early 19th century glasses. They are handblown, handpainted and made in Switzerland by Glasi Hergiswil. They are called Flühli-Glasses.

“The Water Carafe is also from Glasi Hergiswil/Switzerland.

“The box next to the teapot is a caddy.

“The vase is handcut bohemian crystal. In the small bowl are miniature swiss chocolates.”

I asked Cornelia about the fruit below…it looked like peaches but a little different from the Georgia peaches I’ve eaten all my life. Cornelia told me they are “wild peaches.” Ummm, I asked what that meant…do they grown wild like I’ve seen with blackberries? Cornelia said, “No, they are from trees which have not been mutated. They are the original form of peaches. They grow in Italy, Spain and Portugal.”

Cornelia said, “The cake is home made. We call it Gugelhopf. It is made with yeast. The cake server is silver and Italian.” Wow, doesn’t it look yummy?! I think we need the recipe! (hint, hint)

A few candlelight pics to make you swoon…

Life is good…and I am grateful! 🙂

    What gorgeous china! I have seen peaches that look like that in our grocery store — they've always looked quie interesting — but 've never tried them — perhaps I will. (I usually look for the "Georgia peaches" too)

  7. marty (A Stroll Thru Life) says

    Such a beautiful tablescape. She does have the most gorgeous room and always sets the most wonderful tables. So nice of her to share again. Hugs, Marty

    Thanks for hosting

  11. That china is beautiful!! I love seeing such an elegant and classic setting. Thanks for showing us Susan!

  12. Oh Susan, Cornelia's Meissen pieces are to die for. I collect Meissen figures, compotes and jars/vases but I do not have any dishware. Very pretty! Thanks for featuring her….Christine

  13. Susan (My Place to Yours) says

    Cornelia, I especially enjoyed seeing your linens and champagne stems. Fabulous! Oh, and the roses are beautiful — and from your yard, I presume? 🙂 Thanks for the quick vacation to Switzerland … and thanks to Susan for hosting another fantastic Tablescape Thursday.

  14. Cabin and Cottage says

  15. Tricia@The Dull and the Dutiful says

    Susan, thank you so much for hosting us week after week! I'm sure it's a lot of work on your part, as well as a lot of fun. Thanks, too, for sharing the wonderful tables from Cornelia.

  16. What a lovely post! Thanks for taking us on a little journey. I love the beautiful pieces.

  17. Dearest Susan,

    I felt right at home with that much with the European Ambience shown here! Great feeling and like Cornelia, I do treasure all the linens from Le Jacquard Français; easy to clean and easy to iron. Quality pays off – time wise!
    Thanks for this nice tour of Cornelia's home!

  18. Cornelia's home is so pretty and she will have to post where she keeps all of her things! Just beautiful! I love those dishes!

    I was surprised when I saw the plate of peaches. This summer I was lucky enough to receive "donut-peaches." They are a flat peach something like Cornelia's, only smaller. They were from Henry Chiles' Crown Orchard near Charlottesville Virginia. They were super sweet!

    Thanks for the fun post!

  30. Hi Susan,
    Thank you for sharing Cornelia's lovely home with us – I love her china.
    Carolyn

  31. What a special party for some very special people! Cornelia's entire table speaks of elegance & charm & treasures from bygone eras. How wonderful that she has been able to collect & preserve these beautiful items!

    The delicate cutlery from Jezler is very sleek & modern looking in design & I love the gold banding on all the pieces of exquisite china. So pretty!

    I learn so much from blogging…never heard of Gugelhopf before & didn't know about wild peaches either. I, too, am grateful for this thing called "blogging".

  32. amariaf2000 says

    Hmmm…could we get that cake recipe?!?! The whole tablescape is so beautiful, and I hope to host a tea at some point – that's why I love the look (and I'm sure the taste) of that cake!!

    Oh, that Alice teapot & sugar/creame are SOOO cute!!

  33. Everything about this table is lovely. The dishes are one of the prettiest sets I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing such a lovely and inviting table and room. As always your posts inspire me.

  34. Thank you, Susan, for letting us see these beautiful tablescapes featuring European china, crystal and table linens. It's great to learn about the manufacturers and patterns available in Germany and Switzerland. I have more knowledge of American, English, Italian, and French wares.

    I haven't joined you in awhile due to being very busy, yet I must say it's a such an absolute pleasure to be back!

    I love Cornelia's table. What I wouldn't give for those beautiful pink dishes. Aren't they lovely??

    I just have ONE question for my fellow Georgian:
    Are you saying that our peaches are mutants? Thud.

    Beautiful table and magnificent set of china. I love the ruffled edge of the cups and the flatware is exceptional. All of it is just beautiful.

    I agree with Katheleen, they look like donut peaches.

  42. Requi@Tablescaping Escapades says

    I have such an affinity for china with a rose pattern, and Cornelia's china is so lovely. I really like everything she has set on her beautiful table. Did I see a dresden? Now, dresdens could become a new collection for me because I really like their unique shape.

    All the Best,

    Requi

  43. What a lovely table…beautiful china pattern.

  44. Thank you Cornelia for the delightful visit. I am going to plan a tea party for my grandchildren this week. Isn’t it amazing that we can ‘jet off” visit you and enjoy your gracious hospitality and be home before bedtime. I just love seeing your beautiful table settings. Theresa

  45. Rose Giallombardo says

    Oh my dear Susan, This is my very favorite post yet! Since my name is Rose, I would truly love to have this beautiful Rose china & lovely crystal.
