Fans of the 1960s and early 1970s decor often write in asking for
information on items used on the set of Bewitched. Below is
some valuable information to use when making your home Bewitched
with the same items.
Doing the Dishes
The formal tea
service and dishes are from the Fransican line of fine china. The pattern
name is Encanto (Spanish for enchanted, but probably should have been
called Incanto because there was always an incantation or two flying
around when it was being used on the set of Bewitched). We believe
the color to be Magnolia. According to O'
Gallerie's auction page, the service for 8 (62 pieces) recently
sold for $225.
The tea service is seen in the movie Bell Book & Candle,
as well as in several episodes of Bewitched, usually during formal
gatherings. One place of note is in Dick York's final episode, 170,
Samantha and Darrin in Mexico City, at the banquet.

Formal Dishes in Color in 170
The
Stephens's every day dishes for the first five season are from the Harker
Pottery Co. The pattern is called "Springtime," and is part
of Harker's popular Cameoware line of the 1950s and early 1960s. The
color is called Pink Cocoa Over Ivory, and is one of several Pink Cocoa
Cameoware patterns.

Other
items to look for to complete your Bewitched kitchen set decor
are the canisters, coffee cups, and children's dishes used on the show.

The
foyer decor changed throughout the eight seasons that Bewitched
was on the air. Particularly, the wall paper was redone several times
throughout the show. The wall hanging changed depending on the script.
Sometimes there would be a picture, yet other times a mirror. The Rembrant
Girl with a Broom print is readily
available through art and poster shops today. A watchful eye may also
find replicas of the mirrors.

Designing
a Room Inspired by Bewitched
The kitchen
went through a makeover after a fire destroyed the Screen Gems sets
before the seventh season. There are two distinct looks for a Bewitched
kitchen. In this scene, note the Fridgidaire Flair stove, pans, spice
rack, and clear glass coffee pot.
This scene from 219 shows a
new percolator and sauce pans on the island cooktop of the new set.
The percolator with the distinctive cornflower blue design is by Corningware.

This trusty kitchen clock has been spotted at a garage sale or
three. But the wallpaper behind it is the real find for a retro 60s
kitchen!

The
living room
set also underwent some redecorating. This picture illustrates the distinct
olive drab furniture, patchwork pillows, heavy dark wood tables, and
shag carpet that dominated homes of the early 1970s.

If you can get past the harem girls hauling Maurice in this scene,
note the oak secretary desk and plaid curtains in this shot of the
living room.

Going
Grand
For those that prefer a grander scale than Darrin and
Samantha's taste, here are some scenes where the living room got the
royal treatment.
