With Easter right around the corner, I've been thinking about my antique Azalea China by Noritake. It has such a beautiful pattern with its soft hues of pinks, grays, and greens.
I'm bringing this favorite tablescape post "Eggs On Top" from the archives to share with you.
The centerpiece featured an egg wreath and pink pillar candle placed on a cake stand.
My Grandmother bought pieces of the Azalea China from the Larkin Company using premiums from laundry detergent in the 1930s. This china was passed to my Mom then later to me.
The Fitz and Floyd rabbits in the picture below are from the Woodland Spring Collection.
The rabbit teapot and salt and pepper shakers below are Fitz and Floyd Botanical Collection. They are such delicate pieces, I try to be so careful with their ears.
The pink table runner and napkins were made by my friend JoAnn.
My husband bought the Wm. Rogers and Son Gold Plated Enchanted Rose Flatware set at a small shop in Cape Girardeau, MO when we were living in Missouri.
The pink stemware is Fostoria Heritage.
The cake plate sitting in the lower left corner above is such a beautiful piece.
Hope you have enjoyed seeing my Easter tablescape featuring Noritake Azalea China - Judy.

A beautiful, spring table. What a pretty china pattern to acquire by doing that most thankless of household chores - laundry. You are lucky to have had it passed down.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty and spring like. Love rabbits. I had to laugh about the detergent. When we got married, our first apartment was furnished by green stamps, hand me downs, and goodies from detergent boxes. I still use my steak knives. There were glasses inside Oxadol. Forgot who had washcloths in their boxes. My late MIL gave me stacking Pyrex bowls with lids that I have used for 50 years. It's exciting when I find a piece in GoodWill. You brought back a lot of memories.

This is so pretty Judy and I love the sentiment attached to it. I adore the F&F bunnies- they do a wonderful job with their figurines. Love your centerpiece arrangement and the pretty pink Fostoria stemware.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful table setting. The china is lovely and so special from being passed down from your grandmother. I enjoyed hearing how it was offered from a laundry detergent company. Love your rabbit collection. This certainly should be pulled from archives to share again. Gorgeous colors for Easter/Spring..........
ReplyDeleteExquisite in every detail! Oh my heavens; do I even admit I recall green stamps, bird figurines given away in packaged tea and free beverage glasses when filling up your car with petro. Do love the china (so delicate) and the story behind it. -Brenda-
ReplyDeleteStunning...that pattern is beautiful and you have set the table to show it perfectly. ♥♥♥ the centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteHow many settings/extra pieces do you have, Judy...that was a lot of laundry detergent to get what can be seen on your table!
Have a wonderful weekend.
This is so gorgeous, Judy, each piece prettier than the last! Nothing says "spring" in the south more than azaleas. I have the Woodland Spring bunnies too and have often used them for Easter tables.

Beautiful table. I love the china and the fact that it has been passed down to you from your Grandmother. Love the bunnies too!
ReplyDeleteI remember this tablescape from about 5 or so years ago. Loved it then, love it now! The egg wreath is so cool! Timeless tablescape, lady!!!
