Serveware Essentials: Pieces for Every Tablescape

When your serveware collection is both beautiful and functional, hosting (planned or impromptu) is effortless. The tablescape is, after all, the focal point of every gathering. Oven-to-table stoneware dishes, stylish platters, and serving bowls that can withstand even the clumsiest guests are just the starting points. Attention to detail matters so be sure to finish off your decorating with pitchers for perfect pouring (or bouquets), mini cocottes for individual portions and small bowls for dips and spreads.

Much like building a capsule wardrobe, we suggest curating a capsule cabinet. In the context of serveware, that would mean starting with basics – pieces you can use every day. A good example of this is the serving bowls from our Vancouver and Coupe collections and versatile Heritage Dishes. Keep it at hand for anything from desserts to salads and pasta. A collection is an ever-evolving accumulation, so don’t feel like you need to get it all at once. Pieces like teapots, coffee presses and pitchers can always be added later, making them perfect to put on your wish list.  

Please Pass the...  

...gravy, salad, pasta bake, you name it. While our Gravy Boat says, “I have mastered the art of a family-style Sunday lunch”, our Heritage Dish can be used for almost anything. Bring a potato bake from the oven to the table or stack it with bread rolls. While our selection of elegant Serving Bowls is the ultimate go-to for crisp summer salads.   

Excuse Me for Reaching 

Sun-drenched brunches and alfresco lunches are incomplete without these serveware pieces. Starting with our day-to-night Pitchers that are as suited for freshly squeezed orange juice as they are for an elevated punch. Our BBQ Platter is the perfect canvas for a cheese board, while ramekins can hold individual servings and dips. When all these pieces come together, your indulgent spread will be a feast for the eyes and the palate.
