Tableware for shared meals and special occasions
A leisurely breakfast, dinner with friends or a festive buffet: inviting table culture is created by good food and the items you use to present it. A fruit bowl, serving tray or special water pitcher can be both practical and decorative. At Brillibrum, you will find selected additions for your set table, from teak breakfast boards to silver-plated accessories and special glasses.
When putting together your selection, consider your habits. Those who frequently entertain guests need space for serving and passing dishes. For daily breakfast, it is more the small helpers that come into use again and again. First, choose the pieces you are missing, and match the shapes and colors to your existing tableware.
Bowls and trays for serving and presenting
Our bowls and trays offer different ways to arrange food and drinks appealingly. The range includes wooden bowls, wooden or aluminium trays, bread baskets and individual serving platters. A fruit bowl can permanently find its place on the table, while a tray helps when carrying several glasses. A fish platter or bread basket adds a targeted accent to the buffet.
Compare the dimensions with the available space. On a small table, several compact pieces are often easier to distribute than one large platter. With a tray, in addition to the outer shape, the usable surface and the design of the rim also count. Small bowls or glasses can be grouped on it for serving. Whether food can be placed directly on a surface depends on the intended use of the respective item.
Choosing matching glasses, pitchers and carafes
A water pitcher for meals, matching glasses for a shared evening or a carafe for special moments of enjoyment complement the table. In the selection for the set table you will find, among other things, water, juice and whisky glasses, wine glasses, champagne flutes as well as pitchers and carafes. In addition, there are accessories such as bottle stoppers, bottle coasters and champagne coolers. This way, you can supplement your existing equipment according to the occasion and preferred drinks.
With a pitcher, the capacity is just as important as the space it takes up. Consider how many people you want to serve and whether the vessel is frequently passed around. With glasses, it is worth looking at the dimensions so that they fit your surfaces and existing tableware. A recurring detail, such as a silver-coloured rim, can visually connect different pieces on the table.
Small table accessories for breakfast and family meals
Even an everyday set table benefits from carefully selected details. Breakfast boards, a butter dish, egg cups or mother-of-pearl spoons can become regular morning companions. Salt and pepper shakers keep spices close at hand, while cheese cutlery complements the serving of a cheese selection. The key is that the accessories match the foods that regularly come to your table.
For the younger family members, our four-piece children's cutlery set offers its own set with a knife, fork and two spoons. Different motifs allow for a selection according to the child's preferences. With the offered custom engraving, it can also be made into a personal gift. Check the selectable engraving options and the desired text directly at the item. This way, you combine a practical everyday item with a personal memory.
Table decorations that leave room for enjoyment
A harmonious table needs free space for plates, glasses and the shared meal. Therefore, add individual accents that suit the occasion. In our table decorations you will find, for example, decorative fish and lobster figures as well as other special details. A maritime motif can accompany a fish dinner, while a wooden bowl can take on the natural effect of a rustic table. Recurring colours help to bring the different elements together.
For dinner, matching candle holders and tealight holders can be added. Position them so that your guests can see each other and easily reach the bowls. On a buffet, decorative pieces should not hinder the removal of food. Arrange the arrangement as a trial before setting the table: this makes it easy to see whether the table looks balanced and whether enough space remains for serving.
Special materials and gift ideas for connoisseurs
Anyone looking for a single favourite piece for the table will find in our selection of exclusive table accessories among other things crystal glass, 925 sterling silver egg cups and chopsticks that combine ebony with silver. Such pieces can be specifically combined with simpler tableware. Pay attention to the exact material description when choosing: silver-plated surfaces, fine silver details and items made of sterling silver are different finishes. Cleaning also depends on the respective material and the product's care instructions.
As a gift for a wedding, a housewarming, or for people who enjoy entertaining guests, tableware offers many personal points of connection. Think about favourite drinks, frequently prepared dishes and the interior style of the person being gifted. A matching tray or a special glass can sensibly supplement an existing collection. Discover table accessories at Brillibrum that you would like to use in everyday life and also at special occasions.
