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 French Porcelain Centerpieces
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    What French porcelain is called depends on its type. Prior to 1765, porcelain made in France was not true porcelain, as it lacked kaolin clay. These early pieces are soft-paste porcelain or pâte tendre. After the discovery of kaolin near Limoges, France, French artisans were able to produce true porcelain, which is called hard paste or pâte dure. You may also see French porcelain referred to by the region from which it originated. Examples include Sèvres porcelain, Limoges porcelain, Chantilly porcelain and Vincennes porcelain. Explore a diverse assortment of French porcelain wares on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    One way to identify French porcelain marks is to take a photo with your smartphone or tablet and then perform a reverse image search. Often, doing so will allow you to quickly determine the maker. If this approach fails, explore trusted online resources with photographs of the markings associated with various French makers, such as the crowned N of Sèvres and the H & Co. insignia of Haviland. Another option is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer perform the identification for you. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of French porcelain.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    Yes, some French porcelain is worth something. Specifically, there is a demand for some Limoges and Sèvres porcelain pieces, especially those produced by well-known makers, such as Haviland & Co. and Deshoulières. In addition to maker and style, the type, age and condition of a French porcelain piece play a role in determining its value. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can give you an estimate of how much a particular piece is worth. Shop a large collection of French porcelain on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024
    To identify French Limoges porcelain marks, refer to trusted online resources. There are dozens of markings associated with Limoges porcelain.
