How Much are Staffordshire Porcelain Plates?
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.
- 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.
- What is a porcelain plate?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024A porcelain plate is a dish made out of a material called porcelain. A type of ceramic, porcelain is made out of highly refined clay that gets fired at high temperatures. Porcelain plates have an appealing translucent appearance and are harder and less porous than other types of ceramic dinnerware. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of porcelain plates.
- 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.
