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.
Questions About Bohemian Crystal Glasses
- Where is Bohemian crystal made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Bohemian crystal, also known as Bohemian glass, is produced in regions of Bohemia and Silesia, now a part of the Czech Republic. It is highly coveted due to its high quality, craftsmanship and innovative design. Browse a selection of Bohemian crystal goods on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Bohemian crystal is known for its brilliance which is due to the high amount of lead in the crystal, creating more sparkle. Sometimes called Bohemian glass, this crystal is produced in regions of Bohemia and Silesia in the Czech Republic, which have a long history of glass-making since around 1250. Always purchase Bohemian crystal from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Shop a large collection of Bohemian crystal from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Bohemian crystal is also referred to as Bohemian glass and is considered to be very high-quality, made with skilled craftsmanship and very attractive. Initially produced in the regions of Bohemia and Silesia, this glass is made with a combination of potash and chalk. The result is a clear, colorless glass that is more stable that some other types of highly desirable art glass. Find a collection of expertly vetted Bohemian glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, Bohemian crystal is good quality, according to many collectors. Bohemian crystal is a potash-lime glass with a distinctively heavy feel and high luster. Bohemia is now part of the Czech Republic and has a history of glass that dates to the 13th century, although it was only in the early 1700s that it became well-known across Europe for its glassmaking. It was in the 18th century that Bohemian crystal was invented; it quickly drew international interest for its elaborate ornamentation. Glassmaking in Bohemia continued to develop over the decades, from Lithyalin glass that mimicked semiprecious stones in the 19th century to the innovative abstraction of Bohemian glass artists following World War II. Shop a variety of Bohemian crystal on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if a piece is Bohemian crystal, first look for markings. Although the labels used by Bohemian glassworks have evolved over the years, most pieces have markings that read "Bohemia" and some variation on the words "Made in Czechoslovakia" or "Czechoslovakia." Often, markings appear on paper and foil labels, which may not survive on older pieces. If you can't find a marking, examine your piece closely for visible seams, which indicate that the item is pressed, not blown, and therefore unlikely to be genuine Bohemian crystal. You can also try striking the side of the object with the handle of a butter knife. Genuine Bohemia crystal produces a sustained ringing sound when struck, while other types of glassware may not. Should you have difficulty identifying your piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer who can help you determine if your crystal is Bohemian. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Bohemian crystal.

It was carved and enameled in the decorative Bohemian style. You’ll find a variety of Bohemian ruby glass products from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Bohemian ruby glass refers to any ruby-colored example of Bohemian glass.

- What is Bohemian-cut glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Bohemian glass is decorative glassware from the 13th century onwards made in Bohemia and Silesia. It is famous for its cut and Baroque style engraving, which was crafted between 1685 and 1750.

- Is crystal glass real crystal?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Yes, crystal glass is real crystal. However, it's important to understand what the term means. In the world of glassware, crystal is a type of glass that features an additive like lead oxide, potassium carbonate or barium oxide to increase its durability. Crystal glass is crystal because it contains these additives, but it does not actually have a crystalline structure from a scientific perspective. The term crystal as used by glassworks comes from the word "Cristallo," which was pioneered by Italian glassblowers to describe high-end glassware. It doesn't have the same meaning as the word crystal when employed in scientific contexts. Shop a large collection of crystal glass on 1stDibs.

Shop a collection of Moser crystal from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify your crystal glasses, look at the bases, inner rims and stems for the maker's markings. Some makers mark pieces permanently with acid-etching or laser-engraving, while others use foil or label tags. The latter may come loose during washing or over time, so it's possible that your glasses may be unmarked. In addition, some makers of antique crystal wares didn't mark their products at all. If you do find a mark or label, use trusted online resources to find out which maker utilized it. If you need further assistance, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a large collection of crystal glassware on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The difference between glass and crystal wine glasses is their composition. Mineral deposits like lead, magnesium or zinc strengthen crystal glass, rendering it thin but durable. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of wine glasses and other glassware from different periods.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are several ways to tell if an item is crystal or glass. The main difference between crystal and glass is that crystal is made with lead, making it easier to add decorative elements. Crystal refracts and disperses light, creating a rainbow effect, and is heavier than regular glass. When gently tapped, crystal items create a ringing, musical sound. If you are still unsure, consult a certified appraiser. Browse a range of authenticated fine crystal and glass pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Yes, some crystal glasses are worth something. Specifically, collectors often search for pieces from specific luxury makers, such as Daum, Baccarat, Cristal D'Arques, Gorham, Waterford, Riedel, Orrefors, Christofle, Lalique and Steuben. Along with the maker, factors that impact the potential value of crystal wares include their type, style, age and condition. If you'd like to learn the estimated value of your crystal glasses, a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can assist you. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of crystal glasses.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Crystal is considered highly desirable in glassware due to its clarity, however, not all glassware is made of crystal. Crystal is more durable than standard glass and is often thinner because of its strength, yet it's more porous and requires handwashing. Shop a range of wine glasses, including crystal, from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Hold the piece up to a light source. If you see a prism effect, it’s crystal.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
