Tablescape Thursday – Lunch on Georgian Lovebirds Green Depression Glass

Today we’re going to have dinner for two with a small fruit cup on one of my favorite depression glass patterns, Georgian Lovebirds.

Can you see the birds perching inside the triangles around the rim on the sherbets?   That’s why we call this pretty pattern “Lovebirds”, there are two birds close together.  The tumblers have baskets instead of birds.

Most pieces alternate triangular cartouches of birds and baskets; just the tumblers and some dinner plates are different.  I’m using the dinner plates that have the center medallion and border on the rim but no birds and no baskets.  (Do you ever think those depression glass makers just liked to fool us?)

I talked about this bird-less plate in an earlier blog post.

Georgian is one of my favorite patterns and a perennial best seller.  I like the color – green is fresh and beautiful – and the pretty design and the interesting shapes and pieces.  The design is first rate, lots of fun and lots of looks.  And yes, I even like the fact the birds come and go on a few pieces!

The vase is from noted artist Dave Eickholt and has a crystalline glaze.  I wanted something different than the pieces I’ve shown before and decided this was an interesting contrast.  The crystalline glazes are fascinating with such depth of color that even a combination like this, with grass green glass and an aqua tinged green glazed vase, go great together.

Here are the tumblers so you can see the baskets overflowing with flowers.

Last but not least, here is that beautiful crystalline glaze vase from Dave Eickholt.

Thank you to Susan from Between Naps on the Porch and friends for this fun Tablescape Thursday.
