A silver and pepper is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern and Victorian styles are sought with frequency. Many designers have produced at least one well-made silver and pepper over the years, but those crafted by Jens Harald Quistgaard, Dansk Designs and Georg Jensen are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

A silver and pepper can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $451, while the lowest priced sells for $25 and the highest can go for as much as $31,557.
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 Silver And Pepper
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To clean sterling silver salt and pepper shakers, remove the stoppers and empty the vessels completely. Then, wash the shakers by hand using warm water, mild dish soap and a soft cloth. Rinse with warm water, and then dry with a soft towel. Remove tarnishing with a low-abrasive cleaning product designed specifically for silver. Find a selection of antique and vintage salt and pepper shakers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021In the United States, salt shakers have fewer holes than a pepper shaker. In many European countries, however, pepper shakers have more holes than salt shakers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, salt and pepper diamonds are real. They are a variation of the precious gemstone that has a speckled gray appearance. The unique variations of color are due to inclusions present in the diamond as it forms. You'll find a selection of salt and pepper diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The most common way to check salt and pepper shakers to see if they are vintage is to look on the bottoms to find a manufacturer’s mark. Most vintage shakers were crafted in the USA or Japan. The best way to verify the age of your shakers is to have a professional examine them. Shop a collection of expertly vetted vintage salt and pepper shakers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Yes, salt and pepper diamonds can be good for engagement rings. Many people find the unique coloration of the gemstones to be visually appealing and appreciate them as an alternative to classic white diamonds. Although the inclusions that give salt and pepper diamonds their speckled appearance slightly weaken them, the gemstones are still strong enough to hold up to the effects of daily wear. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of salt and pepper diamond engagement rings.
- Is antique silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not antique silver is real depends on the piece. Sometimes, manufacturers simply call a gray-silver finish antique silver. In these cases, the item is usually not real silver. It is possible for antique silver to be pure silver, sterling or silver plated. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of silver decorative objects and jewelry.
- Is Thai silver sterling silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Most thai silver has more pure silver in it than standard sterling silver. Most sterling silver is 92.5% silver with another alloy, typically copper, making up the rest of the metal. Thai silver often falls in the range of 97.5-99% pure silver, so a significantly higher percentage of it is pure silver, making it softer and less likely to tarnish. On 1stDibs, find vintage and contemporary silver jewelry from top sellers around the world.
- Is Sheffield silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Sheffield silver is part real silver, part copper. Sheffield manufactured what is known as a Sheffield plate, which is a “double sandwich” form of plating—it has a sheet of silver on each side of a piece of copper. Shop a selection of Sheffield pieces 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 Poole Silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Yes, Poole Silver is real silver. However, the American silversmith didn't produce all of its pieces out of solid silver. Poole developed an electro-plating technique that allowed a thin, durable layer of silver to be applied over sturdy base metals. On 1stDibs, find a range of Poole Silver Co. silver wares.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024To tell silver from silver plating, try holding a strong magnet near the item. If the magnet is attracted to the piece, it is most likely silver-plated, as solid silver is unlikely to be magnetic. You can also check the hallmarks. Markings that say silver plate, EP, EPNS, EPBM or BP indicate plating. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer evaluate the piece. Explore a large selection of silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- Is Taxco silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Yes, Taxco silver is real silver. Pieces bearing the Taxco mark come from silversmith workshops located in Taxco, Mexico. The region has been known as a major center for silver production since the 1920s. Find a diverse assortment of Taxco silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- Is Gorham silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Gorham silver is real silver, however, the silver content changes depending on the item. Some Gorham items are sterling silver, which isn’t pure silver, but a mix of mostly silver and a small amount of another alloy, likely copper. Some other Gorham items are silver-plated. Shop a collection of Gorham silver jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Is Russian silver real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Russian silver is real silver, but it gets a little confusing because they do not have the same sterling silver standards that Europe, Australia, Canada, the United States and other countries associated with the British Commonwealth have. Russian silver is roughly 94.79% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. The British Commonwealth silver standard uses 92.5% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. Shop a collection of authentic Russian silver from some of the worlds top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The difference between silver and antique silver is age. Items of any age made of silver or a silver alloy may be called silver. The term antique silver refers to silver pieces that are at least 100 years old. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique, vintage and modern silver tableware and decorative objects.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if your teapot is silver or silver plated, look for markings. Sterling silver teapots often show some type of markings, while silver plate pieces rarely have hallmarks. An expert licensed appraiser can assist with identification. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of expertly vetted silver teapots.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A sterling silver spoon is mostly fine silver, but not quite solid silver. Sterling silver is an alloyed form of silver, and is 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper. You can shop a collection of authentic sterling silver items from some of the worlds top dealers on 1stDibs.
- What is a silver concho?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A concho is a decorative shell and a silver concho is one that’s made of silver. Concho jewelry was created by Native Americans and the word concho is a Spanish word for shell. Over the years the shape of concho has morphed a bit and is now less like a shell and more like a flat oval or round piece. Shop a collection of authentic concho jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What was a silver vinaigrette?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A silver vinaigrette is a kind of decorated silver box that was used to transport perfumes during times of travel. A person would soak a sponge in their desired perfume and then place it inside the vinaigrette, allowing for much easier transport than with glass bottles. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage silver vinaigrettes from some of the world’s top sellers.
- What is a silver waiter?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A silver waiter is also known as silver service or French service. This is when the waiters serve the diners directly from a serving dish.
