Each object in our assortment of set of silverware bearing Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern or Empire hallmarks is very popular. You’ll likely find more than one option in this array of set of silverware that is appealing in its simplicity, but Christofle, Gio Ponti and Mappin & Webb produced versions that are worth a look.

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.

Questions About Set Of Silverware
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To identify your silverware, look for a maker's mark. Then, use an authoritative online reference to research the maker and the style.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    How old EPNS silverware is varies. George Richards Elkington patented the electrochemical process used to produce electroplated nickel silver in 1840, and the oldest examples of silverware featuring the technique date back to the decade that followed. A small number of contemporary silversmiths continue to manufacture EPNS silverware, so some examples may be much newer. To date your silverware, use trusted online resources to research its maker, or seek the help of a certified appraiser or experienced antiques dealer. Shop a wide range of silverware on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    There is no single most valuable antique silverware, as trends in collecting evolve over time. Condition also has a major impact on valuation. However, some patterns of silverware have remained consistently popular for decades. Among them are the Grand Baroque by Wallace, Repousse by Stieff, Francis 1st by Reed & Barton, Eloquence Sterling by Lunt and King Richard by Towle. Find a wide range of antique silverware on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    To date Rogers silverware, study its markings. Many pieces feature a pattern name or number. You can compare these markings to information provided on trusted online resources to roughly determine the manufacturing date. Alternatively, you can enlist the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer to aid you with the dating process. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Rogers silverware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    On silverware, EPNS means electroplated nickel silver. It means that the silverware is an alloy formed out of nickel, copper and zinc and has a layer of pure silver over top. Find a variety of vintage and antique silverware on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    The biggest difference between silverware and flatware is the materials. Although people may use the words interchangeably, silverware is technically the term for cutlery made from silver, while flatware features other materials like stainless steel. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of silverware from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    The highest quality of silverware is sterling silver, which is 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent base metal. For stainless steel flatware, the highest grade is 18/10, containing 18 percent chromium and 10 percent nickel. Find an assortment of silverware and flatware from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024
    On silverware, 1847 means that a piece was produced by a particular maker. Specifically, 1847 was part of the hallmark used by the American silversmith Rogers Brothers. The number 1847 represents the founding year of the company, not the manufacturing year of the silverware that bears the marking. Find a large selection of silverware on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024
    To tell if silverware is real silver, examine its markings. You may need a magnifying glass to do so. Most real sterling silver silverware will feature a hallmark that says "925," "STER" or "92.5%." If you're unable to find or clearly see a marking, consult a knowledgeable expert, such as an appraiser or antiques dealer, for assistance. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of silverware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, sterling silver, no matter what its used to make, is not solid silver. In most countries, the sterling standard is 92.5% silver with an additive alloy, usually copper, making up the rest of the sterling silver. Sterling silver is harder than pure silver and much more useful as tableware. Shop a collection of sterling silver from some of the worlds top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    No, sterling silverware is not worth much. Sterling silver does not have enough silver content to have scrap value. Unique and rare silverware, however, may have a value that exceeds its scrap value.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    What the IS mark means on Rogers silverware is International Silver. The company purchased Rogers in 1898, and its initials appeared on the silversmith's pieces afterward. The IS mark does not provide any indication of what type of silver a particular piece features. Shop a selection of Rogers silver wares on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How old WM Rogers silverware is varies. William Rodgers produced silverware under his own name off and on from the 1840s to 1873. To find out the age of a particular silverware set, seek the help of a licensed appraiser. Find a collection of antique and vintage silverware on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Yes, Rogers silverware is real silver, but how much silver the maker's pieces contain varies. The vast majority of Rogers silverware features silver plating, so it is predominantly a base metal with only a thin layer of silver over top. To determine the content of a particular piece, look for hallmarks on its surface. Then, use trusted online resources or work with an antiques specialist to determine the meaning of the marks. Collectors should note that there are in fact many silver firms with “Rogers” in their name (F.B. Rogers Silver Co., Wm. Rogers Mfg. Co., C. Rogers & Brothers, and more). Shop a collection of antique silverware on 1stDibs.

    A parure set refers to a suite of jewelry, as parure means “set” in French.

    A set of china refers to a set of tableware. Porcelain, a durable and nonporous kind of pottery made from clay and stone, was first made in China and spread across the world owing to the trade routes to the Far East established by Dutch and Portuguese merchants. Given its origin, English speakers called porcelain “fine china,” an expression you still might hear today. "Fine" indeed — for over a thousand years, it has been a highly sought-after material. A set of china is likely to include dinner plates, bread plates, cups and other items. Find antique and vintage china on 1stDibs.
