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 Chinese Silver Tankard
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    Yes, some Chinese silver is valuable. The term largely refers to silverware manufactured in and exported from China from 1870 through the 1940s. How much a particular piece of Chinese silver is worth depends on its style, age, condition and overall demand. Consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer for assistance with valuation. Shop a wide range of Chinese silver tableware, jewelry and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    To identify Chinese silver, first look for hallmarks in an inconspicuous area, such as on the bottom or interior. Most pieces will feature four markings. The first is a series of Chinese characters corresponding to the artisan who produced it. The second is the name of the retailer who sold it, usually printed in English. Chinese silver will also usually display the city of manufacture in either Chinese characters or English and a purity mark. Purity markings vary and may include numbers like “935” or “900,” the words “STERLING” or “SOLID SILVER” or Chinese characters that translate to "pure silver." You can learn more about your silver wares by comparing the markings on your pieces to information published on trusted online resources. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also assist with the identification process. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Chinese silver.
