waterford wedgwood’s elegant table setting

Waterford Wedgwood had a pretty spectacular table vignette at their booth at the Canadian Gift & Tableware Association show this summer.

With eight Louis Ghost chairs set around a table that’s swathed in rouched, silky linens, the effect is totally ethereal, and quite dreamy.

Love the signature Jasper Conran teacup handle – definitely one of the most important features to consider when selecting a china pattern. Seriously!

rikke jakobsen fine bone china

When I was browsing the aisles of Copenhagen’s Illums Bolighus — hands-down the most impressive store I’ve ever been in…EVER — I came across these impossibly pretty little fine bone china bowls. I was running low on Danish Krone at the time (it tends to happen in the land of the $6 coffee), and I couldn’t put my finger on where, but I was sure I’d seen them somewhere much closer to home…

Check out the pretty “Silver Abstract” design, too… Stunning!

Luckily, Rikke Jakobsen fine bone china is indeed available right here in the Big Smoke — just pop down to the 7,000 square-foot Shop at the Art Gallery of Ontario for a dose of these Danish delights!
