Our first beautiful tea table is set with antique Coalport floral china. Its old fashioned look is highlighted with a traditional white cutwork tablecloth, pink napkins, and a centerpiece of fresh pink roses and alstromeria.

To plan your tablesetting, get out your china teacups and use them for inspiration. Plain white or ivory cups can work with either plain or patterned linens.

When using china in floral patterns, however, the cups will take on added importance when placee on a simple background. It might be white, pastel, or any other plain color that compliments the china.

In these photographs the pink in the china is highlighted by using more pink in the napkins and roses.

This table arrangement is complimented with an array of candlesticks. These add height to the table, mark the occasion as something special, and also add more color, this time in pink.
