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 Ceramic Animal S

They’re generally understood to be nonmetallic and inorganic solids, and their composition includes elements like silicon, aluminum, clay and water. Once a potter has shaped and worked the material into a desired form, a ceramic piece undergoes a firing process at a high temperature.

- What are the uses for ceramics?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024There are many uses for ceramics. Artisans can use ceramic material to produce decorative objects, such as figurines and sculptures, as well as functional vessels like dinnerware, vases and lamps. Ceramics also have industrial applications and are commonly used as building materials and in electronics, dental implants, bathroom fixtures, engines and other devices, equipment and products. Explore a variety of ceramics on 1stDibs.
- Is faience a ceramic?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, faience is a ceramic. Artisans typically form pieces out of crushed quartz or sand rather than clay. The pottery receives a layer of tin glaze after firing. Then, craftsmen hand-paint the surface. Find a large selection of faience serveware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024The most famous animal sculptor of all time is arguably Antoine-Louis Barye. The French artist was acclaimed not only for his skill but also as the founder of what became known as the French Animalier School. Barye's specialty was wild game such as lions, tigers and elephants, but he also created equestrian groups and mythological figures, typically in bronze.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To tell if a ceramic is handmade, grab a magnifying glass and examine its surface up close. Handmade pieces will usually show signs of the maker. You may be able to detect brushstrokes in the glaze or variations in it that suggest a person finished it by hand. Other visible signs that ceramics are handcrafted include fingerprints and tool marks. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of ceramics.
- What are Raku fired ceramics?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Raku fired ceramics are ceramics made with the ancient Japanese techniques of raku firing. Cornerstones of this ceramic style are shaping the piece by hand rather than on a potter’s wheel, and removing the piece from the kiln while it’s still red hot. The potter takes the piece from the kiln and puts it into a container full of a combustible material like sawdust, resulting in the surface’s distinct look. Shop a collection of raku ware on 1stDibs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024The difference between sculpture and ceramics comes down largely to form and materials. Sculptures are three-dimensional works of art that can be produced out of a variety of materials, such as stone, wood, metal or plaster. Ceramics are decorative objects made out of earthen materials, such as clay. Some sculptures are made of ceramics, but ceramics can also be used to produce other types of objects, such as bowls, vases and dinnerware. Shop a wide variety of sculpture and ceramics on 1stDibs.

Ceramist, ceramicist and studio potter are some of the most common terms. It's also acceptable to simply refer to an artist who uses pottery as a medium simply as a ceramic artist.
