Finding the Right Serveware, Ceramics, Silver And Glass 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.
- What is a punch ladle?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A punch ladle is a utensil used to transfer liquid from a large bowl or pitcher into drinking glasses. It features a long, slightly curved handle and a shallow round or oval bowl. On 1stDibs, find a range of antique and vintage punch ladles.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A punch bowl spoon is called a ladle. A ladle typically will have a hook at the end of the handle to help prevent it from slipping into the punch bowl between uses. It may also have a spout at one side of the dipper to allow for precise pours. Find a selection of vintage and contemporary ladles on 1stDibs.
- What can I do with a punch bowl?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022You can do a lot of things with a punch bowl besides simply serving punch at a party. Use it to hold fresh fruit or fill it up with water to showcase floating candles. You can also fill it with decorative objects or dried or silk flowers. On 1stDibs, find a selection of antique and vintage punch bowls.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if your punch bowl is crystal, hold it up to the sunlight. If you can see a rainbow prism of color, this indicates crystal. If not, the bowl is glass. You can shop a range of antique and vintage crystal pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can tell if a punch bowl is real crystal by holding it up to the light. The lead will give it a refractive quality. An authentic crystal punch bowl will sparkle in the light—the more lead it contains, the more it will sparkle. Shop a collection of crystal punch bowls from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023To find out if antique silver punch bowls are worth anything, experts recommend that you consult a certified appraiser. Antique silver punch bowls can be highly sought after and valuable, depending on a variety of factors like how well they are cared for, their origin and maker. Often called the “Queen of metals,” silver has been universally adored for thousands of years. It is easy to see why it has always been sought after: It is durable, strong and beautiful. (Louis XIV had tables made entirely of silver.) Sterling silver is an alloy that is made of 92.5 percent silver — the “925” stamp that identifies sterling-silver jewelry refers to this number. The other 7.5 percent in sterling silver is typically sourced from copper. Although resources can help you find information about a particular piece, an experienced professional is in the best position to determine the value. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of punch bowls.
