The Crate and Barrel dinnerware collection is ours and yours alone. We work with designers and artists from all over the world to create exclusive designs of a quality and value found nowhere else.
Dinnerware at Crate and Barrel isn’t about hope chests and matchy-matchy formal
place settings brought out once a year (or twice, if you’re lucky). It’s about
breaking tradition and choosing more modern, relevant pieces that live like
you, every day. It’s versatile patterns you can dress up or down. It’s layering
shapes. It’s a newer way to collect and use your pattern—in
fact, it may even be combining several patterns. And what fun. Because you
never ever have to set the same table twice.
Bone China
 Our top of the line dinnerware. Crate and Barrel
bone china is elegant, thin dinnerware with an incredible strength and an
almost luminescent glow. It is of such a fine and translucent quality, that
light can actually pass right through it. But don’t worry, day in and day out,
bone china is the most durable, chip-resistant material there is. Our exclusive
white Anna II offers the exceptional quality of fine German bone china at a price
you cannot find anywhere else. Its beauty is its simplicity. Anna II can stage a
gourmet dinner party, the family holiday buffet or carryout sushi. And like all
of our bone china, it can go right in the dishwasher and microwave.
Porcelain
 Sophisticated china with a little less expense.
Fired at extremely high temperatures, Crate and Barrel porcelain is fine
to the touch and lightweight without being delicate. Our collection features
contemporary designer patterns created exclusively for us by renowned artists
and ceramicists. For instance, the intricate radiating hobnail pattern of Tamiko
draws modern inspiration from traditional Asian Tetsubin teapots. Depending on
your choice of accessories, this crisp white design can set a contemporary table
one night and a traditional one the next. All of our porcelain patterns are dishwasher-
and microwave-safe.
Stoneware
 The reactive glazes we choose give stoneware a smooth, kiln feel and clean,
modern look. Take a close look at Samoa, handcrafted exclusively for Crate and Barrel by one of the
first French ceramic studios to pioneer crackle glazing. It contrasts a subtly ringed, high-gloss crackled
moss green interior with a matte satin charcoal exterior that resembles cast iron. A “fondant” of crystal
sweets is applied with a ladle, then fired to achieve the unique crackled glaze, with each piece unique in appearance. Extremely durable, high-fired, non-porous dinnerware that can go straight from the fridge to the
oven/microwave to the table to the dishwasher.
Earthenware
 Trend, form, texture, fashion. Crate and Barrel earthenware is like a change of
wardrobe, and priced a little less seriously so you can. Our earthenware is high-fired, but at the
lowest temperature that will successfully produce dramatic glazes. Choose from warm earth tones to brilliant,
deep glossy reds…to the pale cream satin glaze of our exclusive Classic Century by designer Eva Zeisel, whose modern shapes
and forms are anything but neutral. Earthenware can go in the dishwasher and microwave at low heat settings.
How Much
We suggest 12 place settings each of your china and everyday patterns. There is
a significant savings when you purchase complete place settings and sets.
4-piece and 5-piece place settings. Our china and everyday patterns are available in both 4-piece and 5-piece place settings. A 5-piece place setting features a dinner plate, salad plate, bowl, cup and saucer. A 4-piece place setting substitutes a mug for a cup and saucer. 
Open Stock
Open stock is a great way to add on extras of the most-used pieces of your
pattern. We offer each of the individual pieces in a place setting, as well as
coordinating serving pieces which may include bowls, platters, a sugar bowl,
creamer and teapot. |
