Finding the Right Ceramics for You

Whether you’re adding an eye-catching mid-century modern glazed stoneware bowl to your dining table or grouping a collection of decorative plates by color for the shelving in your living room, decorating and entertaining with antique and vintage ceramics is a great way to introduce provocative pops of colors and textures to a space or family meals.

Ceramics, which includes pottery such as earthenware and stoneware, has had meaningful functional value in civilizations all over the world for thousands of years. When people began to populate permanent settlements during the Neolithic era, which saw the rapid growth of agriculture and farming, clay-based ceramics were fired in underground kilns and played a greater role as important containers for dry goods, water, art objects and more.

Today, if an Art Deco floor vase, adorned in bright polychrome glazed colors with flowers and geometric patterns, isn’t your speed, maybe minimalist ceramics can help you design a room that’s both timeless and of the moment. Mixing and matching can invite conversation and bring spirited contrasts to your outdoor dining area. The natural-world details enameled on an Art Nouveau vase might pair well with the sleek simplicity of a modern serving bowl, for example.

In your kitchen, your cabinets are likely filled with ceramic dinner plates. You’re probably serving daily meals on stoneware dishes or durable sets of porcelain or bone china, while decorative ceramic dishes may be on display in your dining room. Perhaps you’ve anchored a group of smaller pottery pieces on your mantelpiece with some taller vases and vessels, or a console table in your living room is home to an earthenware bowl with a decorative seasonal collection of leaves, greenery and acorns.

Regardless of your tastes, however, it’s possible that ceramics are already in use all over your home and outdoor space. If not, why? Whatever your needs may be, find a wide range of antique and vintage ceramics on 1stDibs.

Questions About Blue Ceramic Bowls
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between ceramic and glass bowls is material. Glass is a material derived from silicates found in rocks and sand. On the other hand, ceramic begins as earthenware that artisans shape and then fire at high temperatures. Shop a large selection of ceramic and glass bowls on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    The blue and white ceramic pieces are called Delftware or faience. Delftware is a type of tin-glazed earthenware in which a white glaze is applied and then decorated with a metal oxide, such as a cobalt oxide, which gives this pottery its gorgeous blue color. Shop beautiful Delftware and faience pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    In China, the art of making white porcelain with local kaolin produced attractive pieces with a luxe white finish. When they learned that cobalt oxide was the only pigment that could withstand the high firing temperatures of porcelain, a new type of ceramic entered the market. Blue and white porcelain first appeared in the 14th century in China. This technique worked its way across the globe. Shop a collection of expertly vetted porcelain from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Dutch blue and white ceramic dishes are called Delftware. Made in the Netherlands, the dishes are hand-painted and glazed using a centuries-old process involving clay and multiple glazes. Each piece is one-of-a-kind. You can shop a collection of Delftware from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
