What are the serveware staples?

Serveware is a part of tableware essentials. It includes bowls, platters, tiered servers, boards, and more that are used to present food on the table.

The essential serveware in your household will all depend on the kind of gatherings you frequently host and the dishes you usually serve. Whether you're hosting a formal dinner, wine & cheese night, or serving meals every day, you should stock up on these classic, functional, and adaptable serveware:

Appetizer Serveware

Appetizer serveware is a must-have if you like to serve hors d’oeuvres like tartlets, crostinis, or skewers. Sauces, salads, and sweets can also be served on these dishes. 

Serve your appetizers in style with our French Kitchen Marble 2-Tier Server, a tiered server that showcases your favorite appetizers or desserts in classic style.

If your guests plan on walking around and mingling throughout the night, it’s also important to have appetizer plates for their convenience. Our Mai Blue Floral Plate and Sauce Dish are both heavily inspired by traditional Japanese motifs. The navy floral patterns and smooth edges add a pop of color to any table.
