I’m not gonna lie: I’ve been working on this dinnerware round-up since April of 2021, and there’s a few reasons for that. One, of course, is that we’ve been working steadily on our book, which, with luck, will be out this fall! Another is that I have major decision fatigue from renovating my own house, so how could I possibly begin to tell you what to buy for your own home? But the main reason is that once you start sifting through the design-y dinnerware options available on the internet, it becomes an almost insurmountable task, especially since I *am* simultaneously shopping for myself. Do I want ceramic or glass dinnerware? White or colored? Rustic or sophisticated? Trendy or classic? Crazily patterned or subtly textured? Is pink over? Why is a thick lip so appealing right now? What the heck goes with a burl wood dining table? Will food photograph nicely against whatever I choose because, yes, I will be foisting food photography upon my followers, thanks for asking?

So while we’ve chosen 39 different dinnerware sets for you, this is by no means an exhaustive list. We aren’t even getting into vintage sets here (may we interest you in this Pablo Picasso set from 1947 that goes for $137,000?) but perhaps that’s another round-up for another day. And if you have favorites that we overlooked, DM us on Instagram and maybe we’ll feature it there as well! Until then, happy shopping!
