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 22k Gold Glasses
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, 22k gold does exist and it even exists in jewelry, but it’s not very common. 24k is pure gold and it’s simply too soft for jewelry and practical use, 18k is a very popular version of gold for jewelry, but it is possible to find 22k gold jewelry. Find an assortment of gold jewelry from the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, 22k gold is not too soft for jewelry, but it’s considered too soft for everyday wear. You may find some special pieces that are made of 22k gold or that have 22k gold in them, especially antique jewelry, but regular wear will quickly cause 22k gold to become misshapen and scratched. Shop a collection of 22k gold jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    Twenty-two karat gold denotes that more than 91 percent of the metal is gold. Other metals are present to render the texture of the gold more durable. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between 24K gold and 18K gold is how much pure gold the metals contain. Something made of 24-karat gold is 99.9% pure gold, while 18-karat gold items are 75% gold and 25% alloy metals. Generally, 18-karat gold is more durable and scratch-resistant due to the presence of alloy metals. On the other hand, 24-karat gold tends to be more richly colored and expensive. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    24k gold is pure gold. Pure gold means 24 out of the 24 karats of an item are gold.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    The term 14K gold, or 14-karat gold, refers to a type of gold alloy. The term alloy means a metal made of two or more base metals. In the case of 14-karat gold, 58.5% of the content is pure gold, and the remaining 41.5% is alloy metal. Due to the strength of the metal, many jewelry makers use 14-karat gold in their pieces. Find a wide variety of 14-karat gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, 19 karat gold is real gold and is made of 19 parts gold and five parts other metals. 19 karat gold is usually mixed with copper, zinc, silver, palladium and nickel to increase durability. You’ll find a wide variety of 19 karat gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    The difference between 14K gold and 14K Italian gold is the place of production. Both types of jewelry feature 14-karat gold, an alloy that is 58.3% gold and 41.7% alloy metals. However, Italian gold pieces come specifically from artisans, workshops and factories located in Italy. You can find 14-karat gold made in many other countries. Shop a diverse assortment of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    The difference between 10K and 14K gold is how much of the metal's content is pure gold versus alloy metal. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold and 41.7% alloy, while 10K gold is 41.7% pure gold and 58.3% alloy. Due to the increased amount of alloy metal, 10K gold tends to be stronger than 14K. On the other hand, the increased gold content of 14K gives the metal a richer color and a generally higher value. Explore a large collection of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not 18K gold wears off depends on how it's made. The finish will not wear off of a piece of jewelry or another object made entirely out of 18K gold. However, wear can occur on pieces that feature 18K gold plating, a thin layer of gold applied over another type of metal. You'll find a large selection of gold jewelry and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    21K gold does not rust or tarnish. This highly-desirable metal resists oxygen, meaning that it does not easily rust or tarnish. This is part of the reason that gold is such a popular metal for jewelry. Shop a collection of 21k jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    18K Italy gold is 18-karat gold produced in Italy. Karats tell you how much of a piece of metal is genuine gold. In the case of 18-karat gold, 18 parts are pure gold, and six parts are other metals. This makes 18-karat pieces 75 percent gold. You'll find a large collection of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    An 18K gold watch is a timepiece made from gold precious metal of a specific purity. The term 18K means 18-karat, a precious metal that is 75 percent pure gold and 25 percent alloy. Shop a large collection of gold watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    10K Italy gold is a type of genuine gold produced in a particular place. If you see a piece stamped "Italy," it indicates that an Italian artisan or brand produced the jewelry. 10K refers to the composition of the precious metal.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, a Krugerrand coin is not 24 karat gold but rather a 22 karat gold coin. The other two parts of the coin are a copper alloy used to increase the coin’s durability, scratch resistance and give the coin a slightly orange-gold hue. Shop a wide selection of collectible Krugerrand coins on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because a karat is 1/24 part of pure gold by weight, 24K gold is the purest type of gold available and extremely valuable.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    Yes, 10k gold is real. However, it is not pure gold. Instead, 10-karat gold is an alloy that is 41.7% gold and 58.3% base metal. Its content makes 10K gold a strong, durable material and generally allows pieces produced from it to be sold at lower price points than those crafted out of 14- and 18-karat gold. Shop a wide variety of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    Yes, 10k gold is good. Its strongest selling point is its durability. Because it consists primarily of alloy metals, 10-karat gold is highly resistant to wear and tear. However, its value is less than alloys that contain more pure gold, like 14-karat and 18-karat varieties. Its color also typically isn't as rich as alternatives that feature more pure gold. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, 25K gold is likely not real gold. The highest gold purity is 24K, which indicates that an item is pure gold. Counterfeiters may mark gold items 25K mistakenly or as a way of claiming their jewelry is more valuable than 24K. However, 25K gold doesn't really exist. Find a wide range of expertly vetted gold jewelry on 1stDibs.

    Yes, 12K gold is real, but that doesn't mean that the material is pure gold. 12K gold is actually an alloy that is 50% pure gold and 50% other metals. The resulting alloy is highly durable and resistant to scratching and fading. Its hardness makes it difficult to shape into rings, so most 12K gold jewelry consists of necklaces and earrings.
