Most of the items on the table have an Asian influence. It's one tabletop that I don't change much because I really like the combination of things.The tea caddy lamp, I found in my favorite shop here on the prairie. It's not new but it's not ancient either. It looks great on the table.
Cloisonne is my husband's collection. The two ginger jars in the back he purchased on an R and R trip from Viet Nam when he was in his 20's. Of all the cloisonne pieces, these are my favorite. Although they were new when he bought them, they now have a bit of "age"! The little piece with the lion on top was a recent estate sale purchase. Things should be displayed in threes -- my three little cloisonne pieces.
Blue and white -- the theme that runs through all of Linderhof's rooms. Husband Jim purchased it on a trip to Tokoyo. The bowl is prettiest on it's side and that's the way we usually display it.
My latest purchase -- a great vase -- that's handy for bouquets (from the market in winter -- from the garden in summer).

It's perfect for a bouquet of market tulips!
A cozy spot by the fireplace -- it's one of my favorite tabletops!
It's Tuesday which means that it's Tabletop Tuesday so I'm joining Marty at A Stroll Thru Life.
But since there are three cloisonne jars on the table, I'm also joining Tam at The Gypsy's Corner for Three or More Tuesday.

Gorgeous. I love your vignette. Everything looks just gorgeous. The 3 jars are beautiful and I love the lamp. It is so pretty. The vase is a lovely find. It is so hard to find pretty and interesting vases and this one is perfect. The pink tulips look so pretty in it. The bowl has such wonderful detail to it. What a stunning piece. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty

Your home is truly beautiful. The table and the treasures on top of it are so lovely. You must have been pleased when you found the vase it's very pretty and such an unusual shaped base.
Gorgeous! I love that vase!
aaaaaaahhhhhhh. Lovely. Next time you run across a tea caddy lamp, give me a ring. I seem to be lacking one in my collection. Your home is beautiful, Martha!
I really like this and it is so cozy. Love those thingies from Vietnam.
What a lovely collection of Asian inspired items you have. Those jars really caught my eye. Thanks for sharing them!
What a gorgeous table top! The tea caddy lamp, the cloisonne ginger jars, and the blue and white pieces are all absolutely lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I am mad for the shape and quality of your new vase. It's such a stunning piece. I see pink tulips in there. Lovely house and vignettes. Thanks for stopping by to see my poor trees. -- Jane F.
Beautiful vignette, Martha. I love the last photo!
Your cloisonneé is lovely! I, too, love it, and have a few small pieces (somewhere). Your tabletop is very, very pretty -- and as always, your home is so inviting.
