Swedish Red Chintz Dinnerware

Red has always been distinctively Swedish. A simple red chair amongst a muted gray background can be powerful all on its own.

America Retold also sells a set of 4 mini dessert cloches that might work just perfect for your dinner parties serving mini 3 tier cakes.

Decorating With Red Dinnerware- Fitzhugh-Pattern Chinese Porcelain

This lovely pictured featured in Martha Stewart Magazine shows an orange Fitzhugh-pattern Chinese-export porcelain inspired the dining-room color scheme. The painted walls match the deepest tone on the china. A quince-colored velvet tablecloth and sunset-hued fabric on the folding screen highlight the richness and depth of gold-tinged reds.
