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.

    There is no single mug type or brand of mugs that holds heat best. While materials do play a role in determining how well mugs hold hot beverages at temperature, other factors like whether the metal is insulated, how well the mug is crafted and how tightly the lid fits also have an impact. Find an assortment of mugs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A German beer mug is called Bierkrug or Maß (for a one-liter mug). The large beer glasses are called steins. Maß is a double-walled glass drinking vessel that holds 3 average beers for an American. The vessel itself weighs in at over 2 pounds so when it is full, you know you have a large serving of beer. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique beer mugs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    Yes, stein mugs may be worth something. Collectors usually prefer steins produced by German makers, such as King-Werk, Zöller & Born, A.J. Thewalt, Reinhold Hanke and Villeroy & Boch, over those made by manufacturers outside the country. Factors that determine the value of a stein include the age, style, maker, availability and condition. For assistance with valuing a specific stein, consider using the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find a wide variety of steins on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Yes, wooden mugs are safe to drink from. Wooden mugs feature a clear resin lining inside out that protects the wood from interacting with whatever you are drinking. This coating makes the mugs safe and helps in maintaining hygiene. Also, wooden mugs make for a visually appealing addition to your drinkware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    A wine pitcher may refer to a decanter or a carafe. A wine decanter, which allows wine to interact with the oxygen in the air — or to “breathe” — helps remove unwanted sediment. It is usually made of glass and has a traditional bowl base with a tapered neck. A decanter is different from a carafe, as carafes are wider and more decorative — a carafe is for everyday use and it won’t affect the wine’s taste or other characteristics. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary wine pitchers from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To use a martini pitcher, first fill the pitcher with ice. Then, add gin or vodka and dry vermouth. For a single cocktail, add 2.5 ounces of gin or vodka and 0.5 ounces of vermouth. Multiply these numbers by the number of servings if you wish to make more than one cocktail at a time. Use a stirrer to mix the ingredients. Then, place a cocktail strainer over the mouth and pour into a martini glass. On 1stDibs, find a collection of martini pitchers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    A pewter pitcher is made out of a metal called pewter. The material is an alloy produced out of tin and another metal or element like bismuth, silver, copper or antimony. Some older pewterware is a combination of tin and lead. Use this type of pitcher only as a decorative object because it’s not food-safe. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of pewter pieces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Wine pitchers can be called one of two things. Ones used primarily for serving are known as carafes, while ones intended for serving, storing and aerating wine are decanters. You can shop a range of wine carafes and decanters on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Uses for pewter pitchers vary. Ones that are food safe are great for serving water, iced tea and other beverages. Pitchers that aren’t food safe can function as vases or as standalone decorative objects. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of pewter pitchers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify your Blenko pitcher, use the company's catalogues. From the official Blenko website, you can download every catalogue the company has produced since the 1950s, and there are additional trustworthy websites that have catalogues and reference galleries for older pieces.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    No, you can't store lemonade in a pewter pitcher. Although the beverage won't cause visible damage, its high acidity can strip away the metal, contaminating the lemonade and altering its taste. Generally, you should never serve or store beverages in any vessel that's not marked as food-grade. Shop a collection of pitchers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
