Tableware

Tableware often appears decorative, yet it reflects industrial and craft histories. Ceramics, glassware, and cutlery depend on kilns, glass furnaces, metalworking facilities, and finishing workshops that are regionally concentrated across Europe.

This collection brings together European brands producing tableware locally, from ceramic ateliers in France and Portugal to glassmakers in Poland and Italy and metal workshops in Germany. Some brands operate artisanal studios, others industrial facilities, but all maintain ties to regional manufacturing traditions.

Material formulation and firing or forging techniques define durability, weight, and repairability. European-made tableware often reflects slower production cycles and material-driven design decisions rather than purely aesthetic trends.

This selection is curated for those interested in how tableware is produced and how regional craft and industry shape dining objects.
