How Much is a Chocolate Coffee Pot?
Finding the Right Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass for You
Your dining room table is a place where stories are shared and personalities shine — why not treat yourself and your guests to the finest antique and vintage glass, silver, ceramics and serveware for your meals?
Just like the people who sit around your table, your serveware has its own stories and will help you create new memories with your friends and loved ones. From ceramic pottery to glass vases, set your table with serving pieces that add even more personality, color and texture to your dining experience.
Invite serveware from around the world to join your table settings. For special occasions, dress up your plates with a striking Imari charger from 19th-century Japan or incorporate Richard Ginori’s Italian porcelain plates into your dining experience. Celebrate the English ritual of afternoon tea with a Japanese tea set and an antique Victorian kettle. No matter how big or small your dining area is, there is room for the stories of many cultures and varied histories, and there are plenty of ways to add pizzazz to your meals.
Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is more durable than ceramic because it is denser. The latter is ideal for statement pieces — your tall mid-century modern ceramic vase is a guaranteed conversation starter. And while your earthenware or stoneware is maybe better suited to everyday lunches as opposed to the fine bone china you’ve reserved for a holiday meal, handcrafted studio pottery coffee mugs can still be a rich expression of your personal style.
“My motto is ‘Have fun with it,’” says author and celebrated hostess Stephanie Booth Shafran. “It’s yin and yang, high and low, Crate & Barrel with Christofle silver. I like to mix it up — sometimes in the dining room, sometimes on the kitchen banquette, sometimes in the loggia. It transports your guests and makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed.”
Introduce elegance at supper with silver, such as a platter from celebrated Massachusetts silversmith manufacturer Reed and Barton or a regal copper-finish flatware set designed by International Silver Company, another New England company that was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898. By then, Meriden had already earned the nickname “Silver City” for its position as a major hub of silver manufacturing.
At the bar, try a vintage wine cooler to keep bottles cool before serving or an Art Deco decanter and whiskey set for after-dinner drinks — there are many possibilities and no wrong answers for tableware, barware and serveware. Explore an expansive collection of antique and vintage glass, ceramics, silver and serveware today on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The main difference between a coffee pot and a chocolate pot is the shape. A coffee pot generally has a longer spout with a filter to keep grounds from pouring out. A chocolate pot is generally tall and slim with a spout closer to the top of the brim. Browse a collection of vintage coffee and chocolate pots on 1stDibs.
- What is a chocolate pot?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A chocolate pot is a vessel used to serve hot chocolate. Unlike a coffee pot, the spout sits near the top edge, has a hinged or sliding finial covering the opening, and has a molionet or stick that stirs and crushes the chocolate. Shop a selection of chocolate pots on 1stDibs.
- Are copper coffee pots safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Opinions on whether or not copper coffee pots are safe vary. Some experts raise concerns over the use of copper vessels and recommend that you only use ones lined with another metal like tin or aluminum. As a result, people may choose to use antique pots only as decorative objects. Shop a range of antique copper coffee pots on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022In Bedouin culture, the Dallah, or coffee pot, represents generosity and hospitality. Displaying one also means that a person has enough wealth to entertain others comfortably. Shop a range of Dallah coffee pots from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Turkish coffee pots are usually copper due to the properties of the metal. Copper efficiently conducts heat, helping coffee to brew faster and keeping the liquid hotter for longer. On 1stDibs, you can shop a selection of antique coffee pots.
