Finding the Right Decorative Objects for You

Every time you move into a house or an apartment — or endeavor to refresh the home you’ve lived in for years — life for that space begins anew. The right home accent, be it the simple placement of a decorative bowl on a shelf or a ceramic vase for fresh flowers, can transform an area from drab to spectacular. But with so many materials and items to choose from, it’s easy to get lost in the process. The key to styling with antique and vintage decorative objects is to work toward making a happy home that best reflects your personal style. 

Ceramics are a versatile addition to any home. If you’ve amassed an assortment of functional pottery over the years, think of your mugs and salad bowls as decorative objects, ideal for displaying in a glass cabinet. Vintage ceramic serveware can pop along white open shelving in your dining area, while large stoneware pitchers paired with woven baskets or quilts in an open cupboard can introduce a rustic farmhouse-style element to your den.

Translucent decorative boxes or bowls made of an acrylic plastic called Lucite — a game changer in furniture that’s easy to clean and lasts long — are modern accents that are neutral enough to dress up a coffee table or desktop without cluttering it. If you’re showcasing pieces from the past, a vintage jewelry box for displaying your treasures can spark conversation: Where is the jewelry box from? Is there a story behind it?

Abstract sculptures or an antique vessel for your home library can draw attention to your book collection and add narrative charm to the most appropriate of corners. There’s more than one way to style your bookcases, and decorative objects add a provocative dynamic. “I love magnifying glasses,” says Alex Assouline, global vice president of luxury publisher Assouline, of adding one’s cherished objects to a home library. “They are both useful and decorative. Objects really elevate libraries and can also make them more personal.”

To help with personalizing your space and truly making it your own, find an extraordinary collection of decorative objects on 1stDibs.

Questions About Glass Block Vase
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To date glass vases, search for a maker's mark, usually located on the bottom of the piece. Find the marking on an authoritative online resource and use details about the style of the vase to estimate the age. A licensed appraiser can help you date unmarked vases. Shop a collection of expertly vetted antique and vintage glass vases on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A fluted glass vase is an open-topped decorative vessel made out of glass that has a finely ribbed surface. People often use fluted vases as standalone decorations and for arranging flowers. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage and antique glass vases.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Glass vases are typically made by glass-blowing. Although techniques vary, glass-blowing generally involves heating glass components to very high temperatures to liquefy them. Then, artisans blow air into the glass through a long tube to shape it. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of glass vases from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    To identify a Viking glass vase, first search the piece for a maker's mark that displays the Viking name. Because the manufacturer often used foil stamps to mark its work, older pieces may be missing their identifying labels. Should you not find a mark, browse Viking glass catalogues shared on trusted online resources, looking for images that match your vase. For further help identifying unmarked glassware, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Viking glass vases.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify a Murano glass vase, see if you can find a stamp or tag on the bottom or interior. Murano is a Venetian island home to dozens of glassmakers rather than a single brand. As a result, authentic Murano glass vases may feature a variety of markings. Researching the specific marks found on your vase can help you determine if it originated from Murano. For unmarked pieces, experts recommend consulting a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer due to the large number of knockoffs. Find a selection of Murano glass vases on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell if a glass vase is vintage, first research the maker. Look for markings on the inside and base, and then research them using trusted online resources to determine who produced your vase. By looking at when the maker was active and producing pieces similar to yours, you can typically roughly estimate its age. If your vase is between 20 and 99 years old, it is vintage. Vases that are 100 years old or older are antiques. For help with dating, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a collection of glass vases.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To tell if you have a swung vase, first examine the seam along the body. On swung vases, this seam is usually more prominent near the base and becomes fainter and fainter as it travels upward toward the neck. Also, swung vases tend to have irregularly shaped pinched or dipped openings. Find a collection of swung vases on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    To tell if a Murano glass vase is real, look for the name of the shop that produced it on the bottom. Then, use trusted online resources to determine if the workshop is in Murano, Italy. Bear in mind that authentic pieces normally do not have the word "Murano" on their labels. If you need assistance authenticating a particular vase, you may wish to enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Shop a collection of Murano glass vases on 1stDibs.
