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 Staffordshire
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No. In fact, most Staffordshire figurines are not marked. Staffordshire figurines made from 1740 to the mid-1900s don’t generally have a maker’s mark, since they were produced by unknown, small manufacturers. Those manufactured by Kent between 1944 and 1962 feature a black printed mark that reads “Staffordshire Ware Kent Made in England.” Shop a collection of Staffordshire figurines from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can typically spot Staffordshire pottery by locating the potter’s mark or symbol. One of the most common varieties is the Staffordshire knot, which is a three-loop knot sometimes accompanied by initials and a crown. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary Staffordshire pottery from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024To date Staffordshire pottery, look for the maker's mark on the bottom or interior. Then, use trusted online resources to determine the maker and find out when it was active. If you need assistance, have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer examine your pottery. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Staffordshire pottery.
- Is Staffordshire pottery marked?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Almost all Staffordshire pottery and porcelain features a potter’s mark or symbol. One of the most common varieties is the Staffordshire knot, which is a three-loop knot sometimes accompanied by initials and a crown. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of vintage and contemporary Staffordshire pottery from some of the world’s top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024Yes, some Staffordshire plates are worth something. Rather than a particular maker, the term Staffordshire refers to a region in the UK that is home to many manufacturers of china and porcelain wares, including Minton, Wedgwood, Royal Doulton and Moorcroft, and there is a market for certain dishes produced by many of these manufacturers. Typically, the maker, age, style, type and condition will all play a role in determining the value of a particular plate. To have your piece assessed based on these criteria, use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find a selection of Staffordshire plates on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few signs to look for to authenticate an antique Staffordshire dog figurine. Antique figurines are press molded and feature a small hole in the base, rather than a larger one. The quality of the painting is highly detailed and gilded detail may be worn a bit with age. It is always best to have a professional verify if your figurine is authentic. Shop a range of expertly vetted Staffordshire dog figures on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To know if your Staffordshire pottery is real, you have two main methods. One option is to familiarize yourself with the defining characteristics of the pieces produced by the maker of your pottery. Rather than being a single factory or workshop, Staffordshire pottery is the term for pieces made by all makers in the Staffordshire region of England. Many companies, including Wedgwood and Minton, have produced Staffordshire pottery, and the methods for authenticating pieces vary by maker. You can use the markings on your pottery to identify the maker and then consult trusted online resources for advice about authentication. Alternatively, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. Shop a wide variety of Staffordshire pottery on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To tell if Staffordshire figurines are real, turn them over. An authentic Staffordshire will have a hole in the base due to the press-molded firing technique. Also, artisans hand-painted the figurines, so no two ever show off the exact same variations in color. Staffordshire didn't add maker's marks to their pieces. If you see a name on a decorative object, it is unlikely to be authentic. Find a collection of expertly vetted Staffordshire figurines on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To identify Staffordshire porcelain marks, first look to see if your piece has a loosely knotted rope logo. Some items produced in Staffordshire bear this mark. Many pieces also feature a second or alternate maker's mark corresponding to the factory that produced it, such as Spode, Minton and Wedgwood. Online reference guides published on trusted websites can help you determine who made your piece based on these markings. Keep in mind that some Staffordshire porcelain is completely unmarked. If you can't locate a marking, consider having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist you. Explore a wide variety of Staffordshire porcelain on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between a dining set and a dinette set is size. A dinette set usually consists of a small dining table plus two to four chairs. On the other hand, dining sets usually have larger tables with six or eight chairs. With some brands, dinette sets are more casual than dining sets. However, other brands offer both casual and formal dinettes and dining sets. Explore a diverse assortment of dining room furniture on 1stDibs.
- What is a wedding set?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A wedding set is a set of three rings, namely an engagement ring and a pair of matching wedding bands for the betrothed. In some cases, the groom's ring is excluded and it’s called a bridal set. Shop a collection of vintage and modern wedding ring sets from some of the world’s top jewelers on 1stDibs.
- What is a dinette set?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A dinette set is a smaller dining table with matching seating for a smaller space or smaller kitchen. They are less formal than dining table sets. They are usually used in kitchens as eat-in tables. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage dinette sets.
- What is a bath set?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A bath set is a coordinated range of bathroom accessories that include ceramic, metal, stone or plastic sets that comprise a liquid soap dispenser, soap dish, tumbler, a toothbrush holder and a tray. But it can also include matching buckets, dustbins and maybe even bathroom fittings. On 1stDibs you can source vintage and contemporary bath sets and accessories in ceramic, silver and stone.
- What is a channel set?1 Answer
Roman Malakov DiamondsApril 19, 2021A channel set is a style of setting diamonds or gemstones wherein the stones are set in a row, in-between two bars of metal grooves. This is type of setting style is one of the safest as it is very durable against wear. - What is a compote set?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A compote set is a serveware set that includes matching dishes called compotes. A compote dish usually consists of a wide, shallow bowl positioned on a pedestal. The name comes from a stewed fruit dessert called a compôte. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of antique and vintage compote sets.
- What is a pewter set?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Pewter is a mixture of mostly tin with lead components, mostly used in the production of household items. Pewter has been used since Roman times. A set could include milk and sugar canisters, a teapot and a serving tray. On 1stDibs, find a collection of pewter sets from some of the world’s top sellers.
- What is a stud set?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A stud set is a stylish fastener that covers the top button of a tuxedo shirt. It is worn on formal and semi-formal occasions as per the event's dress code. A collection of stylish vintage stud sets can be found on 1stDibs.
- Are all Mahjong sets the same?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, all mahjong sets are not the same. Most have 136 to 144 tiles. However, some sets contain even more with extra flower and joker tiles included. Also, the imagery used to decorate the tiles varies from region to region. Shop a selection of mahjong sets on 1stDibs.
- What is a cordial set?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A cordial set refers to a grouping of glasses that are small, stemmed glasses, perfect for serving cocktails at parties or small gatherings. These glasses are typically designed to hold a small amount of cordial — a liqueur flavored with a fruit or spice (in the UK, a cordial might be non-alcoholic). This set will be an excellent addition to your glassware collection. Find a collection of antique and vintage cordial glass sets on 1stDibs today.
- What is a coaster set?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Drink coasters are used to rest a drink so that the surface below is protected from the condensation or heat of a drink. This prevents markings on certain surfaces.
