This gift vignette is the epitome of a gorgeous Fall vibe with a European inspired fruit and nut pattern. In art, this theme symbolizes abundance and fertility which is makes such a lovely sentiment.
Gorgeous pear green, gold and cinnamon tones are warm and inviting. The 6 vintage gold rimmed porcelain plates by Bareuther Waldsassen Bavarian, Germany in perfect condition and appear rarely used if ever. The six gently used cinnamon color cloth napkins are from my private collection. The amber cruet is of unknown vintage and was purchased from an online resale marketplace. It has a rough edge inside the spout which I filed with glass file to smooth it out. I couldn’t help myself by adding the little bottle of Crown Maple cinnamon infused syrup, made in Hudson Valley, NY and purchased from a local gourmet shop! The color palette does evoke Autumn, but the shades of the fruit and napkins are warm, earthy and gorgeous for all seasons!
Vintage: Plates from the 1960's, cruet unknown, napkins, 2000 were gift shop overstock. Excellent vintage used condition.
Measurements: Plates: 8" diameter Napkins: 19" x 18" Cruet: 6" x 3.25"
Ramp up the WOW-FACTOR: I envisioned this vignette for a cozy holiday breakfast with french toast or homemade waffles, which is why I included a little bottle of maple syrup to be warmed and served in the amber cruet. For a drool-worthy dessert, a pecan pie and vanilla bean ice cream with a drizzle of that syrup would be very special and memorable to share with family and friends.
