WHAT IS TABLETOP?
Tabletop consists of any item you’d used to set a dinner table. Items under the dinnerware umbrella range from the essentials—plates, flatware, glassware—to the unconventional—ice buckets, tureens, oyster plates. Dinnerware can be sourced in just about any style. Some of the most popular styles include retro, organic modern, and madcap or English cottage-inspired.
DInnerware
Dinnerware is a term primarily used to describe plates. Plates can be made of a wide array of materials, including bone china, porcelain, earthenware, stoneware, and melamine. Terms you will often see associated with vintage dinner plates include ironstone, transferware, and majolica. Plates can vary dramatically in style. Plain white plates, often referred to as “catering plates” are a favorite of entertainers because of their versatility. Others prefer more decorative plates featuring ornate rim designs or all-over patterns. Worth noting is that the term “decorative plates” often refers to plates that are meant to be hung on a wall as art, and are not necessarily designed for eating off.
Flatware
Flatware is a term used to describe eating utensils like knives, spoons, and forks. Another commonly used term for flatware is “silverware.” Newly-made flatware is generally sold in single sets consisting of five pieces—two sizes of spoons, two sizes of forks, and a butter knife—while vintage flatware is often sold in large, sprawling sets consisting of thirty-plus pieces or more. Flatware can be made of a variety of materials, but the most common are stainless steel or sterling silver. Sterling silver flatware is more likely to be ornately designed, while stainless steel flatware is more likely to be minimalist and modern in design.
