Glass Dinnerware

Find great glass dinner sets

If you think of clear glass plates when you think of glass dinnerware, you haven’t seen the types of glass dinner sets being created today. Thanks to colored glass and recycled glass technology, glass plates now come in a variety of colors and designs.

Glass Dinnerware Sets

Glass dinnerware is a good for everyday use, if you prefer to have fancier table settings more often.

And today’s glass dinnerware sets are more colorful than ever. We’ve come a long way from clear glass bowls, drinking glasses and plates. While things like clear glass salad bowls add color and pizzazz to a table by letting the bright color of the food shine through, colored glass dinner sets add their own color and charm.

The glass comes in almost any shade you can imagine. There’s the carnival type glass, with a strong, distinctive color, and European glass that’s more opaque than others, with solid and impenetrable color throughout. Then there are the glass pieces that are mostly clear with just a touch of color, for a very subtle addition to your table.

Choosing Glass Dinnerware

If you have a certain color theme in your kitchen or want to start one, you can add to that with colorful glass dinnerware. Choose a set with burgundy glass plates, bowls, platters, cups and even stemware with delicate, colored stems. A matching glass pitcher and tableware like sugar bowls and salt and paper shakers can complete the look.

If you don’t want everything the same shade, remember that white plates are still the standard and will work with anything. Use a clear white plate for your food and put a larger colored glass plate beneath it as a charger. The contrast of white against the colored glass will enhance your table’s aesthetic. You can also mix and match complementary colors to have a beautiful or whimsical table without even adding decorations.
