I decided to use my blue and white for Easter. When my Mother-in Law passed away, My father-in-Law passed on to my husband and I, a set of 20 beautiful West point Wedgewood plates. Each has a scene from different places at the academy. I love to mix them with other blue and white patterns.
I used my Grandmother's silver flatware. It is called "Spring Charm" I like that the flower pattern matches the flower on the salad plates and the cup handles.
The sterling silver cups are four of many that were won in polo matches at West Point Military Academy by my husband's father and grandfather. Most are dated 1917 to 1934. They were both champion polo players. It is very hard to photograph the engravings on the cups due to the reflection. These cups are treasures.
The place mats are the ones I made a couple weeks ago to match my table runner. I posted that for Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps ON The Porch last week.

Stunning table with all your beautiful blue transferware.
I think blue and white is perfect for any time. Your table setting is beautiful.
How beautifully you have combined all these wonderful treasures! The blue and white theme is stunning, and the pink flowers and green pears really look pretty with it.
You simply can't go wrong with a blue and white table, but this one is so special with the set of West Point plates. Actually this table is full of special accents. The flatware and sterling cups are beautiful.
I love your dining room and this table scape is awesome! I also love my blue and white! It always looks great. :)

You know blue and white is my favorite and your table is absolutely to die for!!! Ihave some of the same blue and white (Johnson Bros Indies). But those Wedgwood plates . . . they are wonderful!
