If you love to throw dinner parties, you’re in luck. We have a vast range of dinnerware available to decorate your tabletop. Whether you’re looking for select pieces or want to get a full dinnerware set, with our Pottery Barn sale dinnerware, entertain your guests in style for a fraction of the normal price.
For al fresco dining, investing in acrylic dinnerware is a great way to ensure there are no breakages outside on your patio, which is particularly handy if you have kids running around. The shatterproof material is perfect for summer parties or picnics, and the brightly colored transparent plates and bowls look cheerful and fresh.
More formal dinner parties benefit from stoneware dinnerware with a glazed finish. The plates, bowls and cups have a natural appeal for an elegant table setting. The asymmetrical design of these handcrafted pieces ensure they are all unique. After all your hard work preparing the meal and laying the table, you’ll be pleased to know that these dishes can be popped straight into your dishwasher for easy cleaning.
If you’re going for themed entertainment or celebrating a particular holiday, choose the dinnerware to match the occasion. Serve hors d’oeuvres on a platter bordered with a coral design for a nautical theme. Use salad plates with sea critter images and dinner plates with colorful coral. In summer, dinnerware adorned with tropical fruits is fun.
At Easter, give your kids eggs for breakfast in colored egg cups and enjoy your coffee in a mug with a floral design. When your guests arrive for the festive meal, serve deviled eggs in a platter specifically designed for this purpose and hand out candy in cute bunny shaped dishes. A large serving platter with the image of a bunny surrounded by flowers is lovely and ties in with the matching napkins. And why stop there when you can set each place with a bunny salad plate and dinner plate? You can even consider whimsical salt and pepper shakers shaped as bunnies.
It’s not just warmer times that benefit from great themed dinnerware. When hosting a winter party, go for unique details like golden napkin rings shaped like antlers and a faux fur wine bag with a decorative bow. This luxurious design makes for a lovely gift too. Serve punch to your guests from a punch bowl with matching glasses. The bases of the bowl and glasses are made from mango wood for warm appeal, and the glass is handblown for a decorative look.
Prepare your table with a tablecloth, runner or throw. A paper runner allows for easy cleanup while a cotton eyelet tablecloth is fresh and stylish. Bold stripes and colorful check patterns are fun, and you can match these with the same napkin style or go for contrasting colors and patterns to mix things up a bit. Roll your napkins and use themed napkin rings to complete the look.
Display appetizers or desserts on an entertaining stand for a polished look to your table. Melamine chip and dip platters and snack bowls look delicate but are durable and therefore ideal for outdoor entertaining. Serve soup in style using a hand-glazed earthenware soup tureen. Pour drinks from a decorative handmade pitcher.
An outdoor drink dispenser is a fun way to display and serve cold drinks. The durable dispenser resembles glass so you can see the drink and fruit inside, and guests love turning the tap to refill their glasses. Make sure you have a selection of different glasses on hand to cater to everyone’s drinks. Include tumblers, wine glasses, cocktail glasses, highballs, goblets and fluted glasses depending on what drinks you have to offer. As a special touch, place monogrammed coasters at each guest’s place setting. They’ll love this idea and appreciate the gesture as they take their gift home with them after a great day’s entertainment.
