I have received many comments regarding the vintage glassware I use for styling tablescapes. So I thought I'd focus on that glassware today by sharing why I use it and how it adds flare to modern tables.
I'll start by saying I love crystal and glassware! I love the way it affects the play of light across the table whether it's from sunshine, candlelight, chandeliers or lamps. The shape, decoration, composition and clarity of the glassware make nearly endless combinations that add beauty and enjoyment to functional tableware.
Today I'm concentrating on drinkware, though glass plates, vessels and candle holders all add their special touch to tablescapes. I also often use contemporary stemware and glasses for my tables, but I think by using vintage glassware you add a unique accent that makes a more personal statement.
Navarre by Fostoria, 1973-1982
Fostoria began producing Navarre with its beautiful etching in clear glass in 1936. It proved to be their most popular pattern so they added several colors to the line beginning in 1973, which is why my azure stemware has an older feel to it.
