Summer Favorites

Cabbage ceramics by Bordallo Pinheiro and heirloom tomatoes. Bordallo Pinheiro of Portugal makes an extensive collection of garden inspired dishes and serving pieces. Set a beautiful table outside and enjoy a summer evening.

The Joy of Majolica

I took the inspiration for this table setting from my pair of smashing mid-century Italian majolica fruit baskets piled with lemons and white pineapples. Who can look at this table scape with out imagining their favorite summer place, whether it be the Amalfi coast or Pacific Palisades?  The Cabbage leaf plates are Bordallo Pinheiro of Portugal. The mouth-blown glass water decanter is 19th century French. The sterling silver flatware is Repousse. The colored glass water goblets and bowls are vintage.
