Vintage and antique dinnerware and flatware sets add charm to any gathering, large or small. Sophisticated homeowners who are drawn to impressive champagne covers or sterling-silver dishware or spoons when it’s time to set the table will enjoy transforming their kitchens and dining rooms with these utilitarian yet ornamental objects.

Antique platters and serveware bring luxurious style to a dinner party while being durable heirlooms, and a good dinnerware set, perhaps embellished with a lovable pattern, is a must-have.

Sterling-silver flatware and other tableware is likely to last a lifetime if it is used mostly on special occasions. Your dining table is extra special over the holidays, for example, when more loved ones join the fray and the conversation is heightened with the excitement of the season. There are alluring dinnerware and flatware sets available for everyday use as well.

For more frequent use, porcelain, bone china or stoneware are durable choices that will look lovely on your dining table. Thoughtful place settings will help bring cohesion to your dining room, with sets typically designed to accommodate three, four or five places at the table.
