Table setting

Here's the table setting you'll want for your next formal dinner or tea. The two serving dishes, plate, bowl, and teacup are the finest bone china. They have a fine trim border of gold for an extra touch of elegance -- classic, but not overstated. The silver fork, knife, and spoon are simple classic designs.

Because these items are offered with mod perms, you can resize them to match your own needs. You might want to turn the plate into a saucer or a dessert or butter plate. The bowl could be resized as a condiment dish or as a serving bowl. Or you could resize the rectangular or oval serving dishes to fit your decor.

Be creative! Provide our own food items to make a festive table. Use the silverware as attachable elements. Fill your china cabinet with low L.I. dinnerware.

Each of these pieces of china and silverware is only1 L.I. In fact, though, some pieces have a much lower L.I. than that, so you can link several pieces together -- to make a stack of plates, for example -- to create a grouping that has a much lower L.I. than you might expect.

To complete your collection of dinnerware, consider my porcelain tea set (teapot, creamer, sugar, tea cup, and silver tray), sold separately.
