Starter and Dessert Plates
At The Vintage Tea Service, every plate tells a story. Our curated collection of starter and dessert plates brings together delicate patterns, and timeless English charm - each piece chosen to elevate your table with a sense of occasion.
​
Whether you're welcoming guests with a beautifully plated starter or ending the wedding breakfast with a sweet flourish, these vintage treasures add a layer of refinement that modern tableware simply can't replicate. Their scalloped edges, gilded rims, and florals create a setting that feels intimate, nostalgic and effortlessly elegant.
Side Plates
Our side plates bring a quiet poetry to the table. These charming petite pieces are more than simple accompaniments - they are the subtle touch that completes a beautifully curated setting. Perfect for bread petit fours, or a thoughtful place setting detail, they add depth and texture to your tablescape without ever overwhelming it
Dessert Sundae Dishes
Add a touch of sparkle and timeless charm to your tables with our curated collection of cut crystal and antique glass sundae dishes. Each piece is lovingly selected for its detail, character and ability to elevate even the smallest elements of your wedding or event styling.
​
Delicately faceted crystal catches the light beautifully, casting a soft shimmer across your tablescapes — especially magical on long candlelit tables or intimate round settings. These pieces pair effortlessly with our vintage china, adding depth, refinement and a luxurious finishing touch.
​
They’re perfect for serving mousse, mini trifles, Eton mess, sorbets, panna cotta, and other delicate desserts. They also work beautifully for sweets, fruit, yoghurt layers, or even as decorative vessels for preserves, florals, or individual treats.
​
Their nostalgic shapes, gentle curves and intricate designs bring a sense of warmth and thoughtful detail to your table, creating a presentation your guests will love. Whether you’re styling an Afternoon Tea wedding breakfast or a more formal dining experience, these crystal and glass pieces add that extra sparkle — the little luxury that completes your tablescape beautifully.
​
To complete the experience, each dish is served with a vintage fruit spoon — chosen to complement the charm of the glassware. These dainty, silver‑plated spoons add an extra layer of elegance and make every dessert feel that little bit more special. It’s a small detail, but one your guests will notice and appreciate.

​
Our vintage glass comport stands bring height, shape and sparkle to your table, catching the light beautifully and adding depth to your overall presentation. Perfect for showcasing patisserie‑style bakes, fruit tarts, meringue kisses, scones or even clusters of handmade chocolates, each comport creates a moment of charm and luxury.
​
Paired with our three‑tiered stands, your dessert table takes on the look of a classic Afternoon Tea banquet — layered with dainty cakes, delicate pastries, miniature desserts and sweet treats, all arranged with elegance and balance. Whether styled for abundance or refined simplicity, the tiers create natural flow and movement, drawing the eye across the table and inviting guests to help themselves.
​
Every piece of vintage china and glass has been selected for its character, its craftsmanship and its ability to enhance your wedding aesthetic. Together, they transform your dessert table into an unforgettable focal point — warm, inviting and beautifully aligned with the timeless charm The Vintage Tea Service is known for.
