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.

Questions About Vintage Silver Bars

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify vintage silver, use the hallmarks on your piece. You will usually find them on the bottoms and interiors of hollowware and decorative objects, as well as on the handles of flatware. Using trusted online resources, research the hallmarks to identify the maker and determine what characteristics to look for when dating its pieces. Employing the recommended dating method, determine the approximate age of your item. It would be considered vintage if it is 20 to 99 years old. Antiques are 100 years old or more, while contemporary pieces date back to the last 20 years. You can also enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer to simplify the process. Find a collection of vintage silver decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    To tell if silver is vintage, locate the hallmarks that identify its maker. Then, use trusted online resources to determine when the maker was active and to look for pieces similar to yours to estimate when it was produced. Generally, silver made 20 to 99 years ago is vintage. Older pieces are antiques, while newer ones are contemporary. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can help you identify vintage silver. Explore a wide range of silver wares on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    “Vintage” is a word used to generally describe items that were made before 1950. “Antique” is a term applied to anything made before 1900. If you have vintage silver, it was likely created between 1900 and 1950. Shop a collection of vintage and antique silver from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    Whether vintage silverware is real silver or not varies. Some makers producing silverware between 20 and 100 years ago used sterling silver and fine silver as materials. Others produced silver plate silverware, with items being made of a base metal and then finished with a thin layer of genuine silver. Silverware manufacturers also introduced stainless steel flatware during the early 20th century. Researching hallmarks found on your vintage silverware can help you determine whether or not it is real silver. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage silverware.
