Serveware

Good serveware does quiet work. It gets the food to the table and looks like it belongs there. Hosts come to us for everything a proper dinner party needs, so whether you're showing off your own cooking or dressing up takeout, the right piece makes it easy. And European artisans make all of ours by hand, to be used rather than saved for holidays.

It carries every occasion: holiday dinners, weeknight meals, a buffet, or a table set up outside. So there's a piece for each, and they're made to mix.

Our serveware includes:

• Serving bowls: Wood bowls for salads and pasta, plus handmade Montes Doggett ceramics that double as decor.
• Trays and platters: Artisan pieces easy to mix with your dinner plates and linen napkins.
• Cheese boards and knives: Boards in a range of sizes and finishes that work just as well for charcuterie.
• Cake stands: Pedestal stands in glass, ceramic, and earthenware that make a dessert easy to serve and nice to display.
• Salt and pepper mills: Wood, metal, and marble grinders in colors worth keeping on the counter.

Serveware for Every Occasion

A good table looks different in December than it does on a Tuesday. So our serveware is built to cover both. A wood bowl suits a backyard barbecue and keeps the salad within reach. A platter carries the holiday roast. Because the pieces mix across sizes and shapes, you can dress a table up or pare it down without starting over.

A Host and Hostess Gift

Serveware is one of our favorite gifts to give. The trick we love: bring the dish, then leave the platter behind. So the host keeps something useful long after the night ends. It's also why people register for our serveware, a set grows with a household and earns its keep for years.

Serving Bowls

Our serving bowls go where you need them. A wood bowl works for everyday and for company alike. Because the Montes Doggett ceramics are handmade, no two are quite the same. They earn a spot on the table and the coffee table both.

Trays and Platters

A good tray pulls a table together. Ours are artisan-made and easy to mix with the rest of your tableware. So a platter you bought for a dinner party turns up again at brunch. Mixing sizes and finishes is half the fun.

Cheese Boards and Knives

For a night when a few friends come by, a cheese board does most of the work. Each one is made with care and doubles as a charcuterie board. Pair it with a knife that handles both soft and hard cheeses.

Cake Stands

More baker than cook? A cake stand puts the results on display. Each has a timeless shape, a plate set on a pedestal, in glass, ceramic, or earthenware. So a homemade dessert is easy to slice and easy to show off.

Salt and Pepper Mills

A mill is a small thing you reach for daily. Ours come in wood, metal, and marble. The colors are quiet enough to leave out and good enough to want to.

Common Questions

What is serveware? Serveware is what brings food to the table: bowls, platters, trays, cake stands, and boards meant for serving rather than cooking.

What serveware do I need to host? Start with one large serving bowl and a platter. From there, a cheese board, a cake stand, and a set of mills cover holidays, dinner parties, and everyday meals alike.

Is serveware a good gift? Yes. It makes a thoughtful host or hostess gift, and it's one of our most-registered categories, since a good piece gets used for years.
