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 ExpertApril 5, 2022On silverware, EPNS means electroplated nickel silver. It means that the silverware is an alloy formed out of nickel, copper and zinc and has a layer of pure silver over top. Find a variety of vintage and antique silverware on 1stDibs.
- How old is EPNS silverware?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024How old EPNS silverware is varies. George Richards Elkington patented the electrochemical process used to produce electroplated nickel silver in 1840, and the oldest examples of silverware featuring the technique date back to the decade that followed. A small number of contemporary silversmiths continue to manufacture EPNS silverware, so some examples may be much newer. To date your silverware, use trusted online resources to research its maker, or seek the help of a certified appraiser or experienced antiques dealer. Shop a wide range of silverware on 1stDibs.
- What does EPNS mean on silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024On silver, EPNS means that the piece is electroplated nickel silver. This indicates that it consists of nickel, copper and zinc, finished with a thin layer of pure silver applied via an electrochemical process. One of the benefits of EPNS silver is that the color of the nickel metal makes wear and tear on the silver plating less noticeable. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of silver ware.
- Is EPNS silver valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Whether EPNS silver is valuable varies. As a type of metal, electroplated nickel silver has only a slight value on its own because it typically contains only a small amount of genuine sterling silver. However, some EPNS pieces may be sought by collectors due to their age, style or maker rather than because the metal itself has value. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can give you an estimate of how much a particular piece is worth. Shop a range of silver objects on 1stDibs.

- Are 1-carat studs too big?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023Whether 1-carat studs are too big depends on your personal preferences. Stud earrings with a total weight of 1 carat will usually each feature a 0.5-carat gemstone, which is often the medium-sized offering from jewelry makers.

- Is a 1-carat earring too big?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Whether a 1-carat earring is too big depends on your personal preferences. An individual earring with a 1-carat stone will usually cover a good portion of the earlobe without completely hiding it. As you shop for studs, keep in mind that there is a difference between total carat weight and carat weight. The carat weight refers to the weight of each earring, while the total carat weight is the combined weight of both earrings in a pair. A 1-carat earring set would actually typically include two 0.5-carat earrings, which are generally small enough to keep most of the earlobe visible. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of gemstone earrings.
