Mix and Match: Posh & Polished

Warm wintry tables with a duo of dynamic settings embellished with a billowing ribbon of rich raspberry. 

With the season’s subdued surrounds outside your window, create a delightful view inside with the help of Herend’s Silk Ribbon service plate in raspberry. A crisp white porcelain center gives way to a golden band and a flowing border in a berry hue sure to brighten the dreariest of days. For a look with plenty of pizzazz, pair the charger with a stack of plates dressed in fresh takes on ikat, repeating the service plate’s rouge and gold, and adding depth with dashes of indigo that are echoed in a napkin tucked underneath. A gilded placemat with a brushed finish offers a shimmering stage for the display, while a snowy-white tablecloth in a subtle jacquard print evokes the quiet splendor of winter’s stillness.

A more traditional tablescape enhances the sophistication of the inspiration plate. A simple white dinner plate edged in gold sets the scene for a salad plate adorned with a lovely depiction of a basket brimming with multicolored florals, which also spill forth along the rim. Pastel linens pull in pinks and greens from the dinnerware and bring the soft scheme to life. Fanciful flatware hints at the elevated occasion, and glassware etched with elegant blooms mirrors a lively arrangement at the table’s center—a final flourish for the cheery presentation.
