Being an International Consultant did Open Up the World to us. So no wonder that after finding in a favorite magazine a beautiful Antique Silver Muffineer, we actually could have ours Custom Made after that model!
WOW... Would you not take the opportunity?
WOW... Would you not take the opportunity?
This is IT! Don't you think it is lovely?
Custom made for us in Kotagede, Indonesia!
Below this post you find a link about the making of silver in Kotagede.
Now, eat your heart out! Sprinkle some generous powdered sugar on your waffles, add some maple syrup and whipped cream from the tiny French ramekins.
All china is Pillivuyt France and all can be used in the oven as well!
Rose silverware is from Germany. Silber-und-Rosen-Shop might have some similar pieces...
Crystal wine glass is from Our Life in Italy. Don't know the pattern name... Wish I could find out!
Vintage linen tablecloth with roses...
Raspberries are so yummy and so are blueberries and strawberries...
A better view of the silver muffineer and the crystal glass.
Don't know if it is from Italy but we bought it there when we were living and working in Italy.
To wet your appetite... Grade A Maple syrup to the left and whipped cream.
And YES, I do LOVE roses...!
So how did you like our Silver Muffineer and its use?
You like to have some waffles now; please have a seat in our gazebo at this table...
If only we could eat there again but WINTER is not YET OVER!
Thanks for visiting.

ReplyDeleteDearest Theresa,
DeleteWe had seen several antique silver muffineers, e.g. in Dublin Ireland but they were way beyond our reach.This worked fine for us.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThe muffineer is so pretty and the perfect accompaniment to your lovely rose silver pieces.
Where have you found the shaped waffle irons? The waffles add a special note to your table.
Enjoy the day.....*s*
Dearest Suzi,
DeleteWe love our muffineer and thank you for liking those rose silver pieces. As for the heart shaped waffle iron (5 hearts) you can get one here: http://www.amazon.com/Chefs-Choice-830-WafflePro-Waffle/dp/B00004RKG0
We also have a rose shaped waffle iron...
Hugs,

Dearest Mariette
ReplyDeleteI never heard of a Muffeneer. thanks for educating. Love the Roses! You guys have a good collection.
Dearest Munir,
DeleteMuffineer seems to be introduced around 1900 and you could also say 'shaker'.
Oh, anything with roses does change a table setting!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette, you know me by now...so that means I LOVE THESE THINGS!!! Thank you so much for illustrating me on the Muffeneer sweet lady and I want one, lol! The rose silver pieces are also stunning, you always share such gorgeous and unique ítems, my friend and the best is how you teach us about them. You are a very worldly, classy and educated lady and I love you! Yummy, I want a Little waffle too with that lovely tea cup and plate.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
FABBY
Dearest Fabby,
DeleteThank you dear friend as from your mouth these words have special meaning! You know so much about china and unique and pretty antique pieces yourself. Such a muffineer or 'shaker' is a lovely addition to a quite simple dish like waffles. It makes for a beautiful presentation.
You are quite welcome to some heart shaped waffles; they are healthy ones with only egg whites and multi grain.
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh...forgot! I have a post with something you might like!
ReplyDeleteFABBY
Dearest Fabby,
DeleteOh, thank you so much for posting about those 60s Daalderop pewter tea sets on a gallery tray. That did bring back such fond memories for me. You have a treasure trove of things unique and special!
Hugs,
Mariette

Lovely table seeting!

Dearest Claudia,
DeleteA Muffineer is a lovely piece and they are in glass as well as in silver. It makes for a special table setting indeed.
Hugs to you and enjoy your week as well.
Mariette
Het ziet er mooi en overheerlijk uit Mariette!
ReplyDeleteHet nadeel van zilver vind ik het poetsen...
Fijne dag!
Nicole
Beste Nicole,
DeleteJa, lekker hè! Wij kunnen ons zilverbestek gewoon boven in de bestek lade van de Miele vaatwasser leggen en hoeven zelden iets te poetsen. Als je het nooit gebruikt mogelijk wel...
Ook een fijne dag nog.
Liefs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedas ist eine Schatzgrube.
Alles Liebe

Liebe Elisabeth,

Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletemir gefällt der Muffineer in dieser Verwendung sehr gut. Wieder ein wunderschöner Tisch.
Ich nehme gern Platz und versuche eine der leckeren Waffeln.
Ich liebe Rosen auch sehr.
Einen schönen Mittwoch wünscht Dir
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteJa natürlich kannst du gerne Platz nehmen und einige von diesen gesunden Waffeln aus Eiweiss und Multigrain mit frischem Obst kosten!
So kann man mit ganz wenig einen speziellen Tisch anrichten.
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
I could just do with a waffle right now. It looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteDearest Kay,
DeleteWish I could hand it to you from afar...

Mariette

ReplyDeleteWish you a happy day!Hugs!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteThank you and roses are a favorite of most of us I guess. Such a muffineer makes a table setting look very special.
Happy continuation of your week as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
The muffineer looks very beautiful and elegant. How special yours is custom made!
ReplyDeleteI love your crystal glass. It looks so delicate. Perfect on your lovely table! And now I am craving waffles :-) It's always better with fresh fruits, isn't it :-) I had cheesecake with fresh banana on Sunday and it was delicious! Have a lovely day xoxo
Dearest Tamago,
DeleteOur muffineer turned out a beautiful and elegant hand made piece of silver that we enjoy using. Fresh fruits are the best to serve with waffles; LOVE them together.
Indulge in your cheesecake while you still can. Who knows later on health issues might restrict you...
Hugs to you and enjoy the remainder of the week.
Mariette
How lovely your table is, Mariette - and your treasured muffineer adds that special touch! To have one specially made makes it that much more treasured. Your beautiful linen cloth, silver and crystal make this a very special meal with heart shaped waffles!
ReplyDeleteHugs xo
Karen
Dearest Karen,
DeleteThank you, it is also very lovely because it is set inside the gazebo... longing to those days of enjoying a meal al fresco.
Wish we could share some heart shaped waffles with fresh fruits together!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette you have set a beautiful and welcoming table! Your muffineer is gorgeous and what a fabulous story that accompanies it. You have me craving some waffles ... hugs and blessings, C. (HHL)
ReplyDeleteDearest Celia,
DeleteFirst of all, you are welcome to help yourself to some waffles! It is a very special story about how this beautiful piece of silver came about. A very fond memory of our work period and life in Indonesia!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,

Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteYes, at that time when we worked and lived in Indonesia, we were only a couple of hours away from you... now we are far away. But this beautiful silver muffineer is such a wonderful memory of that time when we were living in the tropics.
Hugs and love to you always!
Mariette
Beautiful! Each and every piece!
ReplyDeleteDearest Sarah,
DeleteThank you, that means a lot as you are a very knowledgeable person for setting a perfect table.
Hugs,
Mariette
Een prachtig erfect plaatje als gewoonlijk, mooi gerangschikt allemaal en om zo aan te schuiven. Ik heb nog nooit een zilveren strooier gebruikt moet ik bekennen.....
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJe bent van harte welkom om aan te schuiven... als het weer het weer toelaat kunnen we weer zo indekken in onze gazebo (tuin prieel). Wij zagen ooit práchtige zilveren strooiers in Ierland maar met prijzen waar je stijl van achterover sloeg. Natuurlijk was het antiek en waardevol maar tóch. In Indonesië telt het handwerk nauwelijks vanwege de lage lonen. En mogelijk zijn deze ambachtslieden er nu niet eens meer. We zijn al 13 jaar niet meer daar geweest en het werd toen al gedaan door de oudere mannen die overdag op de rijstvelden werkten en in de namiddag zilver bewerkten.
Liefs,
Mariette
Loved them, and also how you use them:-) beautiful:-) those yummy berry-stuff you got there!
ReplyDeleteDearest Eli,
DeleteSuch a muffineer adds to a simple meal and it is a piece that will last for many generations.
Wish I could hand you some waffles with yummy berries.
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletewas für ein wunderschöner Pfefferstreuer -
auch das blaue Geschirr gefällt mir total gut und erst das Besteck - wunderschön -
liebe Grüße - Ruth
Liebe Ruth,
DeleteEs ist aber kein Pfefferstreuer sondern ein viel grosserer Puderzuckerstreuer.
Das blaue Geschirr ist im Bild vom Monatsheft was wir benutzt haben als Vorbild für den Puderzuckerstreuer.
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Se non fosse che è ancora inverno farei un "piccolo" viaggio per venire ad assaggiare quelle deliziose cialde sotto al tuo gazebo...con quella bellissima argenteria...che meraviglia Mariette!
ReplyDeleteUn abbraccio colmo di affetto dall'Italia♥
Anna
Cara Anna,
DeleteSe solo noi potremmo fare un 'piccolo' viaggio così per visitare a vicenda e condividere alcune cialde e amicizia. Siete sempre Benvenuti al nostro gazebo e Suite Rosa!
Un abbraccio da 1,200 km... sto più vicino da voi.
Mariette
Dear Mariette, I keep learning so many things when I visit you!! I didn't know the meaning of the word muffineer (I just called this a sugar shaker). Your custom made muffineer is so beautiful as are all the other pieces you show us here, all of them!! It is a real pleasure to be able to have tea in such a precious and lovely setting.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs to you!!
...and, yes, we do love roses!!! Come by and see mine!!
DeleteDearest Marie-Anne,
DeleteThank you for liking our silver muffineer and the other items in this table setting. Oh, I did admire your lovely rose table lamp that you created!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette;
ReplyDelete"The Muffineer" I first learned about it :-) Isn't that special as it is a custom made☆☆☆ Yes, the waffles DO look delicious♡♡♡ What a LOVELY setting with roses, my dear friend. It sure would heavenly if I could be with you under your gazebo at the table and enjoy sweets (^_^)v I adore all of your silver wares with rose design♪
Sending you lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Dearest Miyako,
DeleteSorry for finding this late but you know we have been in the air. Now we're safely home again since last night.
A muffineer is lovely for use with waffles; very simple but looking elegant and romantic.
Oh, that would be heavenly indeed to sit together on a lovely sunny day for enjoying a brunch or whatever. Who knows?!
Hugs from Georgia/USA again, all the way to Japan.
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeletewow..they are so pretty, I would love to have afternoon tea in the morning, afternoon or whatever, using this muffineer:)..Muffineer? I learned something from you everyday:)
I wish I can have them:P
Dearest Tammy,
DeleteOh sure, on any warm and balmy day we could enjoy tea at any time of the day...
We learn as long as we live and even more so when we do travel extensively. You could tell many, many stories!
Hugs to you,
Mariette
