I had some of my heirloom silver on Show and Tell a past post Click Here. My father gave the strand of pearls to my mother as a gift just after my sister was born in (194?.) The tea cups, saucer and dessert plates are from a place setting for six. I inherited the dishes from my paternal great-grandmother about 15 years ago.
Pearls and Silver.
Hope you enjoy.
The elegant look of Pearls and Silver and a Tablescape with Pink roses makes a wonderful setting for an Inspiring afternoon tea.
A beautiful gold clasp with a diamond in the center is so delicate. The pearl is a symbol of purity and often given to celebrate a marriage or a birth of a child. My father was a wise man. And, my mother gave the pearls to me with all her love. I would say these pearls are Vintage. Just like me!!! And, my birthstone happens to be a Pearl.
R. S. Prussia - Reinhold Schlegelmilch a private owner of a porcelain factory is Suhl, Germany.
The gold detail is amazing
And, I thought homemade scones and homemade pomegranate jelly would be nice on the dessert plate.
Something Foodie.
This spoon measures 4 1/2 inches long.
One of my Favorite Things
Demitasse spoon

Good morning Betty,
ReplyDeleteI am sitting here with my morning coffee, reading your lovely post. What an exquisite pearl necklace and how lovely that it is now yours! The china is gorgeous with its florals and lovely detail. The spoons are darling! My mother just gifted me with her silver which had been a wedding gift from her mother. Thank you for sharing. It's been a real pleasure and have a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
You display your family treasures beautifully!
