Pfaltzgraff Dinnerware - A New Standard In Fine Dining

Pfaltzgraff dinnerware is iconic and durable, available in several styles and patterns, and suitable for everyday use. Pfaltzgraff dishes vary in materials, such as ceramic, stoneware, and melamine. Your choice depends on your needs and the pattern you're looking for. 

What I really like about the decorative dinnerware is that for most patterns, there is usually drinkware, serverware, linens, flatware, and matching décor for the home and kitchen.

With a company that has been in business for two hundred years, you can really expect a lot from them. The Pfaltzgraff Company is now a part of Lifetime Brands, Inc. Even under the new name, they still offer excellent craftsmanship, quality, and service.

If you like colorful, up-to-date patterns, this is a good company. Take a look at the dinnerware sets available.

Patterns Produced by Pfaltzgraff Over the Years

The Yorktowne dinnerware pattern is based on a classic pattern of the 60s. I really like it. This can be a fun one for anyone who is a fan of the 60s classic dinnerware designs. 

Another popular pattern with tons of accessories is the Pfaltzgraff Patio Garden dinnerware pattern. But there are so many great ones, it's hard to know where to begin. 

There is no way that I can list all of the dinnerware sets made by Pfaltzgraff, so here are a few of their most popular patterns to give you an idea of their style of dinnerware. To see more, feel free to visit the Pfaltzgraff Online Dinnerware Outlet.

Pfaltzgraff Dinnerware Sets

Pfaltzgraff dinnerware sets are popular in the dinnerware world, as you can see. Some of their most popular dinnerware patterns currently consist of the Pfaltzgraff Filigree, the Pfaltzgraff Pistoulet, and Pfaltzgraff trellis dinnerware.

Retired Pfaltzgraff patterns are also in demand. This company has been producing dinnerware since 1811. They do a good job of keeping up with the trends in home décor, which always makes their dinnerware patterns contemporary and fashionable. 

Pfaltzgraff dinnerware is also known for producing casual dinnerware sets. Most are ceramic, some stoneware, and acrylic and melamine dinnerware sets are among them. These can be used at any time, even for everyday dining.

Pfaltzgraff makes some beautiful nautical dinnerware.  

Pfaltzgraff Holiday Dinnerware

Pfaltzgraff makes beautiful casual dinnerware sets with holiday themes, too (check out my holiday dinnerware page). The Plymouth pattern is very popular for Thanksgiving dinnerware and the Winterberry pattern is perfect for Christmas dinnerware.

These patterns are ideal for hosting a holiday dinner. From time to time, Pfaltzgraff releases new patterns, so this dinnerware manufacturer is always a good place to look for trendy dinnerware that fits your style of décor.

Finding retired Pfaltzgraff dinnerware patterns

If you are looking for retired Pfaltzgraff patterns or replacement pieces, eBay is always a good place to shop. You can also check Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, and online auction sites. Finding dinnerware and plate collector groups is another great way to locate pieces from retired sets. 

Also, replacement companies often collect a variety of Pfaltzgraff retired patterns and you can usually make up a complete dinnerware set through them.

Pfaltzgraff Patio Garden Dinnerware

When it comes to Pfaltzgraff Patio Garden dinnerware, the choices are pretty amazing. The dinnerware pattern is available in several styles of dinnerware sets and there are awesome table-setting accessories and serveware to match.

This dinnerware pattern is somewhat summery with flowers and vines that are silhouetted in lovely colors of sage green and cornflower blue. It is very colorful, but not overbearing.

What is wonderful about this pattern, is that you get it in earthenware dinnerware sets, melamine dinnerware sets, or square dinnerware sets. This makes it appealing to hosts and hostesses who entertain indoors and outdoors and thrive in creating unique table settings.

Not many are available at this time but you can find some on Etsy.

Earthenware

The earthenware dinnerware is microwave and dishwasher-safe, which is a good thing when it comes to everyday dinnerware. It also makes awesome table settings and there are several serveware to match which makes it ideal for entertaining.

When purchased directly from Pfaltzgraff, the service for eight comes with a flower-shaped platter and vegetable bowl which is a good start on a complete dinnerware and serveware set.

Square dinnerware sets of earthenware are also available in this pattern. You can refresh your table with the square settings, or you can mix and match the traditional shapes with the modern shapes for a creative table setting.

Melamine

Melamine dinnerware sets are available in this pattern as well. Dishes made from melamine are great for outdoor use. If you have garden parties or cookouts but want to stay kind of fancy, this dinnerware might be for you.

I don't suggest melamine dinnerware for everyday use because of the way most American families live these days. For example, melamine is not safe for microwave use. That is important to me because I have kids who don't pay attention to what is and is not safe to put in the microwave; however, I would go for a set like this to use in outdoor dinner parties.

Serveware choices

It is very nice to have serveware choices that coordinate with your dinnerware. If you like this coordination, you can count on Pfaltzgraff dinnerware patterns.

Serveware includes wine tapa plates, pasta bowls, buffet plates, sandwich servers, dessert bowls, serving bowls and platters in various shapes and sizes, gravy boats, covered butter dishes, sugar and creamer sets, pitchers, glasses, coasters, spoon rests, trivets, and so forth.

Furthermore, placemats, floor mats, and various kitchen décor items are also available in this pattern.

It is great that Pfaltzgraff offers this pattern in dinnerware sets or in open stock. In fact, that makes it possible to mix and match dinnerware if you like to do that for creative table settings.

Outlets for Pfaltzgraff Discount Dinnerware

The best place to find Pfaltzgraff discount dinnerware is on the company's website. There used to be Pfaltzgraff dinnerware outlet stores all over the United States. However, in 2008 the outlets were closed because the company decided to focus its efforts and resources on internet marketing.

With the way that technology has advanced and the preference of many shoppers to browse the internet for products, this decision only makes sense. I am certain that this move saved the company loads of money since they were running over 70 outlet stores and those savings can only be good for us, the consumers.

If you are looking for Pfaltzgraff dinnerware, I highly suggest that you order directly from The Pfaltzgraff Company.

Other ways to save

I recently bought a Cappuccino casual dinnerware set from Pfaltzgraff through an internet special that I got a notification of through email. Here, I was able to get a dinnerware service for 16 plus a service for 16 of flatware from Lifetime Brands at an enormous discount.

These dishes were of fantastic quality and you can't beat the service. If you are hesitant about ordering online, you can call the company to place an order. They do still have excellent customer service in addition to their high-quality dinnerware selection.

When I got my set, the dishes were packed appropriately to prevent damage to the dinnerware. A catalog of their products was included along with use and care instructions for the particular dinnerware pattern that I chose.

Sign up for additional discounts

To be informed about the discounts offered by the internet-based Pfaltzgraff outlet, simply sign up for special offer emails. Furthermore, shopping for Pfaltzgraff discontinued dinnerware is also a great way to get discounts on awesome dishes.

Dinnerware from Pfaltzgraff can also be found on Amazon and eBay is a great place to shop for retired patterns or replacement pieces.

How to get silverware marks off Pfaltzgraff dinnerware

Pfaltzgraff used to make a stoneware and porcelain cleaner that was great at getting silverware marks off of your dinnerware. Sadly, it's been out of stock for quite some time.

Thankfully, this product by Bar Keepers Friend makes a similar product that will help remove silverware marks off your dinnerware.
