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.

Questions About Gorham Cut Glass
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    American cut glass is a technique used for decorating glass. The period from 1771 to 1876 is considered the early period of American cut glass — later, cut glass was called Brilliant glass. This technique is associated with high labor costs and involves the work of skilled craftsmen — American cut glass is considered a luxury item and can be very valuable.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Bohemian glass is decorative glassware from the 13th century onwards made in Bohemia and Silesia. It is famous for its cut and Baroque style engraving, which was crafted between 1685 and 1750. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic Bohemian-cut glass pieces from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Cut glass is a highly valuable collectible on any antique market. Cut glass will tend to have a defined pattern with sharper detail. You should also look for mold marks as cut glass should be sharp and not smooth. Find a variety of glass collectibles and art glass on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To clean a cut-glass decanter, fill your sink with warm water and mild dish soap. Place the decanter in the sink and wipe it with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft towel. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage decanters.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    It is not necessarily true that a diamond is real if it cuts glass. Before the advent of high-quality synthetic gemstones, attempting to scratch a piece of glass with a gemstone was a more accurate way of determining whether it was a real diamond. However, some human-made stones are now hard enough to produce scratches on glass, just like diamonds. As a result, experts generally say that the best way to tell if a diamond is real is to have it inspected by an experienced jeweler, dealer or appraiser. Shop a large collection of diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if glass is brilliant cut, try striking it with your finger. It should produce a sound like a ringing bell. Because so many convincing replicas exist, consider having an experienced and licensed appraiser evaluate the piece. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of expertly vetted American brilliant cut glassware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    American Brilliant cut glass is deeply and sharply cut glass known for its reflective quality and highly polished nature. This type of glass is thick, heavy, and very clear.
    The difference between cut glass and cut crystal is the lead content along with some other criteria. "There are three primary criteria for crystal as established by the European Union in 1969: a lead content in excess of 24%, a density in excess of 2.90 and a reflective index of 1.545." "Prior to 1969 crystal glass was generally around 36% lead. However, due to concerns over lead leaching the percentage was reduced to the [unofficial} standard of 24%. Today glass with a lead content of 10% or more is considered to be crystal or “fine glass”" in the US.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if cut glass is American Brilliant, look for deep cuts that reflect light with a brilliance. If you can, flick the glass gently with your fingernail and listen for a bell-like ring. Always purchase crystal from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Shop a large collection of American Brilliant crystal from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
