Added to a card table and two chairs - not included- and you have a date no one could forget. The set is two each dessert plates, champagne flutes, and pastry forks along with a basket, tablecloth and goldfinch Christmas ornament. The two plates are from the songbird collection by Elizabeth Golz Rush from Andrea by Sadek and made in Japan. The size is slightly above a dessert plate, at 8.25. The gold on the edge is slightly worn, but not significant. The birds featured are the bluebird and goldfinch. The champagne glasses are of the "watermelon" coloring dating to the depression era but redone in the 80s in a sturdier glass. That's what these are. They're each 7.75" high. The pastry forks are extra plate silver by William Rogers- Guild-Cadence, c. 1932 and features a harp and strings running the length for the songbirds. The basket is a vintage Longaberger signed AU 1983 and is made of their signature maple with leather straps and metal nails. The table cloth is a standard card table size with monogram TEG. It's either high count cotton or linen, and has ties on all 4 corners to tie to a card table. To top it all off, the ornament is a 1997 hallmark Marjolein Bastin featuring a goldfinch with space to write on the back. The design is not seasonal and can be out throughout the year. This basket is both gift and gift of experience- specifically an IOU for a date in your favorite or new birding spot. I have other gift baskets sold seperately in my chairish store.
