Ceramic Glazed Dinnerware For a Stylish Table

Decorate your table with ceramic glazed dinnerware for an elegant everyday style. These pieces are also great for entertaining, and they come in all kinds of colors and designs to coordinate with your dining room decor.  

Styles of Ceramic Glazed Dinnerware

The dinnerware at Williams Sonoma comes in a style to suit any aesthetic. There's the exclusive Reactive Glaze dinnerware collection, which is made from high-fired stoneware with a high-gloss reactive glaze. It comes in an array of vibrant hues, including blue, red, green, black and white. Purchase the pieces as separates or in sets for a perfectly matched table.

If you love a traditional print, consider the blue-and-white Japanese Garden dinnerware. They have an eye-catching botanical motif, with pieces that coordinate but don't match exactly for a fresh look. Despite the formal appearance of these glazed ceramic plates and bowls, they're durable enough for daily use and are microwave- and dishwasher-safe.

Another option that's exclusive to Williams Sonoma is the Vista dinnerware collection. These glazed stoneware pieces come in a rainbow of colors and have a subtle texture, so they're casual yet polished. The collection includes dinner plates, salad plates, cereal bowls and coffee mugs--all of which can be microwaved and washed in the dishwasher.

Impart an artisanal touch to your table with Brushed Gold dinnerware pieces. They're made in Portugal from stoneware and hand-glazed for a rustic appearance. The irregular shapes and variations in the gold hand-painted rims make each piece one-of-a-kind.

Start an upscale collection with Kahler Hammershoi dinnerware, which also makes an heirloom-quality gift for weddings, anniversaries and housewarming celebrations. Designed by Hans-Christian Bauer, they're inspired by antique pieces from Denmark's most famous ceramics workshop. These porcelain dinnerware pieces have a high-gloss white glaze, so they coordinate with any style of flatware and drinkware.

You can also add a high-end look to the table with AERIN Scalloped Rim plates. These white glazed ceramic salad and dinner plates have a decorative scalloped rim that comes in multiple color options. For a similar look, Williams Sonoma also has Ruffled Gold Rim plates in two sizes. Use these scalloped dinnerware pieces with a white tablecloth for a crisp look.

Other Types of Dinnerware

Ceramic glazed dinnerware is an excellent choice for casual dining or special occasions. Williams Sonoma also has melamine dinnerware for outdoor use. Many of the pieces--such as the Rustic Outdoor dinnerware--have the appearance of glazed stoneware without the risk of breakage. Melamine is a shatterproof material that's elegant enough for dinner parties yet durable enough to use anytime. You'll also find ceramic and melamine serveware in lots of colors and motifs to match your dinnerware.
