Finding the Right Dining-entertaining 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 Bohemian Crystal Goblet
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Bohemian crystal is also referred to as Bohemian glass and is considered to be very high-quality, made with skilled craftsmanship and very attractive. Initially produced in the regions of Bohemia and Silesia, this glass is made with a combination of potash and chalk. The result is a clear, colorless glass that is more stable that some other types of highly desirable art glass. Find a collection of expertly vetted Bohemian glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

    Bohemian crystal is known for its brilliance which is due to the high amount of lead in the crystal, creating more sparkle.

Always purchase Bohemian crystal from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Shop a large collection of Bohemian crystal from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if a piece is Bohemian crystal, first look for markings. Although the labels used by Bohemian glassworks have evolved over the years, most pieces have markings that read "Bohemia" and some variation on the words "Made in Czechoslovakia" or "Czechoslovakia." Often, markings appear on paper and foil labels, which may not survive on older pieces. If you can't find a marking, examine your piece closely for visible seams, which indicate that the item is pressed, not blown, and therefore unlikely to be genuine Bohemian crystal. You can also try striking the side of the object with the handle of a butter knife. Genuine Bohemia crystal produces a sustained ringing sound when struck, while other types of glassware may not. Should you have difficulty identifying your piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer who can help you determine if your crystal is Bohemian. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Bohemian crystal.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    Yes, Bohemian crystal is good quality, according to many collectors. Bohemian crystal is a potash-lime glass with a distinctively heavy feel and high luster. Bohemia is now part of the Czech Republic and has a history of glass that dates to the 13th century, although it was only in the early 1700s that it became well-known across Europe for its glassmaking. It was in the 18th century that Bohemian crystal was invented; it quickly drew international interest for its elaborate ornamentation. Glassmaking in Bohemia continued to develop over the decades, from Lithyalin glass that mimicked semiprecious stones in the 19th century to the innovative abstraction of Bohemian glass artists following World War II. Shop a variety of Bohemian crystal on 1stDibs.
