How Much is a Silver 925 Cutlery?
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.
- 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.
- Does 925 silver tarnish?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Yes, 925 silver can tarnish. However, it is more resistant to tarnishing than other forms of silver. Tarnishing occurs when 925 silver, also called sterling silver, reacts with compounds present in the environment, causing discoloration. Sweat, chemicals in perfumes and skin care products, chlorine in pool water and salty air can all contribute to tarnishing. To protect your 925 silver jewelry, remove it before you bathe, shower, complete your skin care routine, swim or perform tasks that involve the use of chemicals. Find a wide variety of sterling silver jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024No, not all sterling silver is marked 925. Although all sterling silver usually features hallmarks, these markings do vary. You may sometimes see STERLING or STER used in place of 925. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of sterling silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects from some of the world's top sellers.
- Is 925 silver worth anything?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021925 silver, also known as sterling silver, can definitely be valuable. It is called 925 silver because it's 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper or another metal.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Although you can shower with 925 sterling silver jewelry on, it is better to remove it prior to bathing. Exposure to water is unlikely to damage the metal, especially if you dry it off promptly after you shower. However, chemicals found in soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner and other personal care products could react with the precious metal and cause tarnishing. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of sterling silver jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Yes, some silver-plated cutlery is worth something. However, any significant value of silverplate usually comes from its age, style, type, make, condition and other characteristics rather than from its materials. This is because silver-plated cutlery consists mostly of base metal and has only a thin layer of silver as its finish. A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can evaluate any cutlery you own and give you an estimated value. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of silver-plated cutlery.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not 925 sterling silver is good quality is largely a matter of personal opinion. Sterling with this mark is 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper or another metal. The addition of the alloy metal helps prevent tarnishing. Shop a variety of sterling silver jewelry, decorative objects and serveware on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024Many jewelry lovers believe that 925 sterling silver is worth buying. Not only is the cool color of sterling silver visually appealing, but the metal is also fairly resistant to scratching. Compared to fine silver, sterling is also less likely to tarnish. The benefits of sterling silver have led many well-known jewelry makers to craft pieces out of the material. Among them are Tiffany & Co., David Yurman, Alex Jona and J Dauphin. However, whether or not it's worth investing in sterling silver jewelry is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find sterling silver jewelry and other jewelry on 1stDibs.
