How Much is a German Silver Cutlery?
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.
- Is silver cutlery real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022It depends on the make and model whether or not silver cutlery contains real silver. Some flatware contains a percentage of sterling silver, however, not all silvertone flatware contains silver. Shop a wide collection of flatware, including silver, on 1stDIbs.
- Is German silver real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024No, German silver is not real. Its name comes from the metal's color, not its content. German silver, which is also called nickel silver, is actually an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of silver tableware, serveware, flatware, jewelry and decorative objects from some of the world's top sellers.
- Is German silver valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, some German silver is valuable. However, when pieces have considerable value, it is usually due to their maker, level of craftsmanship, age and condition rather than their materials. This is due to the nature of German silver metal. Despite its name, German silver does not contain any actual silver. Instead, it is an alloy produced out of copper, nickel and zinc. To get an estimated value for a particular German silver piece, use the services of a certified appraiser. Shop a variety of German silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Yes, some silver-plated cutlery is worth something. However, any significant value of silverplate usually comes from its age, style, type, make, condition and other characteristics rather than from its materials. This is because silver-plated cutlery consists mostly of base metal and has only a thin layer of silver as its finish. A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can evaluate any cutlery you own and give you an estimated value. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of silver-plated cutlery.
