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.

Antique silver punch bowls can be highly sought after and valuable, depending on a variety of factors like how well they are cared for, their origin and maker. Often called the “Queen of metals,” silver has been universally adored for thousands of years. It is easy to see why it has always been sought after: It is durable, strong and beautiful. (Louis XIV had tables made entirely of silver.) Sterling silver is an alloy that is made of 92.5 percent silver — the “925” stamp that identifies sterling-silver jewelry refers to this number. The other 7.5 percent in sterling silver is typically sourced from copper. Although resources can help you find information about a particular piece, an experienced professional is in the best position to determine the value. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of punch bowls.

- What does antique silver mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021Antique silver is a type of silver that is at least a century old. Find a diverse range of intricately designed, elegant antique silver decorative objects and more on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Whether antique silverware is real silverware or not varies. Many antique flatware pieces feature silver plate, so they consist of a base metal beneath a layer of genuine silver. There is also flatware made entirely from sterling silver, which is an alloy that is 92.5% silver and 7.5% base metal. Researching the hallmarks found on your silverware using trusted online resources can help you determine whether the items are sterling silver or silver plate. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also assist you. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of antique silverware.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, some antique sterling silver is valuable. Sterling silver of any age has value as a material because it is a precious metal.

On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of antique sterling silver wares.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Whether antique silverplate has any value depends on a variety of factors. The design of the piece, who made it and decoration are among the biggest determiners of value. Generally, rarer pieces that remain in good condition will be worth the most. Today, just as pewter collectibles and sterling silver are popular with collectors at neighborhood flea markets, antique Sheffield silverplate housewares are sought after for their appearance and rich history. Consider having the piece evaluated by a knowledgeable antiques dealer or certified appraiser to get an accurate estimate of how much it's worth. On 1stDibs, find antique silverplate from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Sterling silver is considered antique if it was made over 100 years ago. Many antique sterling silver items will have a mark or stamp. First, clean the item and check for marks. A “925” mark indicates a silver purity of 92.5 percent, which is the composition of sterling silver. If you don’t see a mark, work with a certified appraiser to acid test the item and determine the silver content. You’ll find expertly vetted antique sterling silver items on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if a silver spoon is an antique, seek the assistance of a licensed and experienced appraiser. Many antique pieces lack marks, and it is generally not possible to determine the type and age of metal through a simple visual inspection. Shop a collection of expertly vetted antique silver spoons on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021While antique silver plate can be worth something, it is not usually as valuable compared with contemporary pieces or similar sterling silver antiques.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024Yes, some antique silver plate is worth something. However, any value that a piece has usually comes from its rarity rather than from the cost of its materials, because silver plate contains very little pure silver. There is generally a demand for certain older pieces by Christoffle, Elkington Co., Mapp Webb and other well-known manufacturers. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can evaluate the condition of your piece and give you an idea of how much it is worth. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of silver plate tableware, serveware and decorative objects.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024Yes, some silver-plated antique silverware may be worth something. Antique pieces are 100 years old or older, and because of their age, pieces in good condition may be sought after by collectors due to their rarity. The maker, style and type will also impact the potential resale value. In terms of value as scrap metal, antique silver-plated silverware usually isn't worth much because silver plate is made only from a small amount of pure silver. To get an estimated value for your silverware, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a wide range of antique silverware on 1stDibs.
