Gorgeous indeed.  What's the glassware?  (I have a little bet on with myself - we'll see if I'm right.)

Re: Table Settings

The glassware is Lenox Clarion hand-blown crystal. Still have a few with original sickers.

Re: Table Settings

Outstanding in every detail. What is the flatware?

Re: Table Settings

I believe the flatware looks like Jens Quistgaard's Odin line for Dansk.

Right about the Odin, Scott.  But I haven't figured out the pointy knives.  And Craig hasn't answered my private question.  It resembles a very rare Dansk pattern called Palmyra, but I've found only a few pieces and never any knives.  The handles split easily because they are make of wood.  But they are very special.

The pointy knives look to me like a Japanese production ... I see them quite frequently in thrift stores, and an ex had the same set. Danish inspired for sure. I wish I remembered the manufacturer's name.

Re: Table Settings

The rosewood-handled knives are Mode Danish by Sheffield. I also have a few serving pieces. They are very similar to another set I have with (I think) walnut handles which is Town & Country by Washington Forge. I have another Mode Danish set with pearlescent handles. These are fairly common on ebay and at thrift stores and estate sales.

Hi Diane - I didn't see anything from you in my mailbox?? Email your question to mccormickstudio@yahoo.com. Thanks!

 

I 've seen the Dansk Palmyra and Fjord and love them both but don't have any.

Love the candlestick piece, too!  Do you know who produced it?
