Vintage Platters to Antique Serving Ware at Judy’s

If you are setting a table with vintage dishware, it stands to reason that you will want antique platters and spoons and spatulas to create a cohesive style for your guests. Today’s tableware trend includes table ware from your grandmother’s time period. Whether that’s the earthenware platters of the 1950s or the opulent Art Deco serving utensils of the 1920s, Judy’s Jewelry & Antiques has plenty to choose from. Over the next few weeks, we’ll take a look at some of the trending styles in vintage tableware, from bowls and platters, to servingware. 

The Pyrex Renaissance

Pyrex, just the name evokes homecooking and families gathered around the table. Introduced, as servingware in 1915, Pyrex was the first set of covered serving bowls that home cooks could use to prep, cook, serve and store food all in one bowl, as it was made of a borosilicate glass that could go from the oven to the table and then when cooled the leftovers could go directly into the “icebox.” Pyrex was so durable that the US armed forces used it as “messware” during World War II, so it’s no surprise that there is vintage Pyrex to be found from various decades. From the original stackable lidded dishes in primary colors to the classic Snowflake and Pink Daisy patterns of the 1950s, Pyrex has decorated the dinner table for multiple generations. 

Vintage Dansk Provides Old School Scandinavian Charm

If you love the  bold, mid-century retro look that’s currently trending in tableware, look no further than well-loved vintage Dansk. Originally created by Martha and Ted Nierenberg, Dansk brought simple, classic Scandinavian design to American kitchens in 1954. From enameled steel cookware, easily brought to the table to serve out of, to teak ice buckets, this brand’s clean lines and natural materials continue to bring elegant simplicity to your table.

Vintage Serving Utensils

Nothing serves your guests in style like vintage serving spoons and forks. Before 1700 people typically brought their own spoons to the table to eat. Spoons were personal property, carried with you everywhere much the same way we currently carry our wallet or keys. But beginning in the 19th century, and becoming extremely popular during the Victorian era, there was a proliferation of different kinds of eating and serving utensils created, including serving spoons, carving knives and meat forks. They were often ornamented with family crests or monograms. This intricate silverware is perfect for elevating your dinner party by providing an air of luxury from a bygone era to it.
