These Designer Look-Alike Dinnerware Sets Start at Just $3 Apiece

If you love to cook (or just love to eat), you know that how food is presented is almost as important as how it tastes. When we spend so much time and energy preparing a dish, we want it to be both beautiful and delicious, and dinnerware plays a big part in that. A great dinnerware set is part of the dining experience. Too often, though, the dinnerware we want is quite expensive. And with so many stunning designer options available, it can be tempting to spend more than we should on these brand names. The good news is that you can get the designer looks without the designer prices.

Whether you’re hosting for the holidays, planning a backyard summertime fiesta, or simply looking to upgrade your decades-old dinner plates, these designer dinnerware doppelgangers are the solution.

Pfaltzgraff Cassandra Porcelain Dinnerware Set

Porcelain adds a refined touch to dinnerware, particularly in a time when more modern, casual stoneware is the trendier choice. Its weight, glossy translucence, and smooth finish give dinnerware a timeless look, and we are loving this gorgeous 16-piece set from Pfaltzgraff. With its service for four and classic, fluted design around the edge, it reminds us of this $456 set from Williams Sonoma.

Gibson Home Stoneware Dinnerware Set

Clean lines and natural materials have become increasingly popular in dinnerware. Perhaps it’s because we need a more minimalist aesthetic, or it could be that we’ve decided to let the food be the star of our tables, and dinnerware the simple canvas that lets the real artwork shine. Whatever the reason, this lovely dinnerware set from Gibson feels organic in its design with smooth, clean lines and striking simplicity, and its resemblance to this much pricier set from West Elm cannot be ignored.

ArmorArc Speckled Matte Black Dinnerware Set

For those who favor simple design with dramatic flair, this stunning set of black matte dinnerware from ArmorArc is an impressive choice, and very similar to this more expensive set from Pottery Barn. Colorful foods will stand out beautifully against the speckled black background of these 12 plates and bowls — perfect for anyone with a taste for the dramatic. 

Vancasso Selene Dinnerware Set

Crisp and classic blue and white dinnerware is a staple of taste and sophistication in any China hutch, and this gorgeous set from Williams Sonoma is a perfect example. As beautiful as this collection is, though, it isn’t the most budget-friendly, especially compared to this equally lovely dinnerware set from Vancasso. With intricate and unique blue and white patterns on each of its 12 pieces, this much more affordable set will look every bit as special on your table.  

Safdie & Co.Midnight Rose Dinnerware Set

We love it when new and traditional designs collide, and this floral dinnerware set from Safdie & Co. is the perfect blend of classic floral and bold modern aesthetic. With its simple white background and dramatic floral artwork, it reminds us of this much more expensive set from Nordstrom.  

Loymokinar Polka Dot Dinnerware Set

If you’re looking for a cheerful addition to your dining room table, polka dots are certainly a fun way to go. There’s something so classic yet unpretentious about this happy black and white dinnerware set from Loymokinar, and it’s nearly identical to this much pricier Kate Spade version from Macy’s that doesn’t even include bowls.

Lorren Home Trends Bone China Dinnerware Set

For dressier events like holidays and anniversaries, it’s nice to have a set of dinnerware that feels special, and this bone China set from Lorren Home Trends is perfect for such an occasion. The set includes service for four, featuring a dinner plate, salad plate, soup bowl, dessert bowl, and a cup and saucer set for each. The intricate gold and white design is perfect for any special occasion and reminds us of this Vera Wang collection from Bloomingdale’s.

Vancasso Starry Dinnerware Set

We love the drama of this stunning dinnerware set from Vancasso. Reminiscent of a midnight sky, the bold and unique design with its reactive glaze reminds us of a similar set from Arhaus. This set is available with or without the coordinating mugs, but we can’t think of a better way to enjoy our morning coffee.

Selamica Ceramic Dinnerware Set

With summer already peeking its head around the corner, we are loving this colorful dinnerware set from Selamica. With vibrant hues and cheerful patterns, this set will be the star of any summertime table — but at a fraction of the price of this West Elm dinnerware collection with a similar vibe. 

Gibson Elite Scallop Dinnerware Set

The scallop edging on this quaint dinnerware set from Gibson Elite is perfect for summertime with its light, whimsical feel. We can just imagine a beautifully grilled piece of fish or citrusy summer salad piled atop these pieces, which are extremely similar to those in this pricier Lenox set from Macy’s.

Vancasso Bohemian Dinnerware Set

Sometimes, dinner calls for color. Whether you’re having an outdoor fiesta on the patio or just spicing up your Monday night meatballs, this Bohemian dinnerware set from Vancasso is a spectacularly vibrant way to do it. We love the bold splashes of color, intricate patterns, and the similarities to this equally lovely, but much more expensive, set from Williams Sonoma.
