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 Tankards
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Tankards were widely used for drinking ales. They were widely used in Germany, Great Britain and in the Scandinavian countries. Metal tankards generally had a glass bottom, and legend has it, this was designed as a way to avoid conscription. If the drinker saw a coin in the bottom of the glass, they would refuse the drink, thus avoiding conscription. You’ll find a variety of tankards from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A German tankard is called a stein. The word is a shortened form of the German word Steinkrug, which means "stone jug." Many steins have hinged lids that help keep the beer inside fresh between sips. You'll find a selection of antique and vintage steins on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are a few different stories around why tankards have glass bottoms. One is that it’s to let the drinker better inspect their drink and its clarity. Another is that it allowed them to see whether a bar fight was about to happen, even when they were sipping. Browse a range of antique and contemporary tankards on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Before ceramics were common for household goods, pewter was the material of choice for tankards. The earliest pewter tankards date back to the mid-17th century. Pewter was a practical choice, especially for pubs, because it was durable and inexpensive. It was also very easy to care for, in fact, dented mugs can even be reshaped. It should be noted that older pewter was made using lead, which is poisonous, but today’s pewter is lead-free. Shop a collection of tankards from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
