The Complete Table: Golden Holidays

The Complete Table: Golden Holidays

New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is an idyllic occasion for a little glitz and glamor. The delicate gilded trim on Elizabeth’s teapot, cups and saucers, and ruffle-edged plates is the perfect star of a gold-and-white tea table. Accompanied by Arte Italica’s Vetro Gold chargers and flute glasses and Oneida’s Golden Artistry flatware, ringing in the New Year will be a truly grand experience for guests of afternoon tea.


Resources include Royal Crown Derby Elizabeth Gold dinner plate, salad plate, teacup, saucer, teapot, creamer, and sugar bowl from Devine Corp.
