Elevate Your Tablescapes with Black and White Dishes from Our Crew Collection

Picture your table set with style, personality, and intention, where every detail feels considered and each design encourages guests to linger a little longer. That’s the heart of our Crew Collection. With thoughtfully designed dinnerware sets featuring scalloped plates, this collection brings charisma to your table for every occasion.

The Importance of Curated Dinnerware Sets

The dinnerware you use does more than hold your meals – it shapes the atmosphere and sets the stage for connection. A curated dinnerware set makes any table feel complete and considered, even on an ordinary night. When your dishes reflect your personal style, through a scalloped plate edge, a distinctive glaze, or an intentional color palette, they bring joy to your daily rituals. 

Choosing dinnerware sets that are both stunning and functional encourages more meaningful moments, whether you’re hosting a quiet al fresco affair or a last-minute dinner party. Our Crew Collection captures this balance perfectly, offering versatile styles that move from casual to elevated with an artful touch. With curated dinnerware, you turn everyday dining into an experience. 

Meet the Crew Collection

Our contemporary Crew Collection blends simplicity with bold, artistic detailing. The signature scalloped plate edge and arabesque trim are modeled after classic tilework, creating a frame-like border that draws attention to whatever you’re serving. Available in classic black and white dishes and now in additional hues, Crew is timeless, expressive, and designed to be a foundational favorite. 

Whether styled solo or layered with other designs, this collection offers endless versatility. Its arabesque patterned trim and ticket patterns introduce texture and dimension for subtle yet striking visual interest on your table. Each dish feels curated and intentional, making it easy to create a look that reflects your personal style.

The Inspiration Behind the Crew Collection

Our Crew Collection was inspired by a desire to create dinnerware sets that feel timeless yet entirely at home in modern living. Each style reflects a sense of unity and harmony through its thoughtful design. The scalloped plates and arabesque trim offer a nod to history, while the clean lines and balanced white space keep the dinnerware set feeling fresh and current. 

By reinterpreting classic motifs through an updated lens, our Crew Collection seamlessly blends old-world artistry with everyday functionality. The addition of new hues {Brass, Olive, and Russet} evokes the earthy palette of traditional tilework, enriching the collection’s visual depth. Whether used as a complete dinnerware set or styled individually, each design invites a connection between the past and the present. 

Introducing Our New Crew Collection Colors

We’ve added three new hues to the collection to expand into a year-round palette of bold, alluring personality. Joining the original black and white dishes of our Crew Collection are: 

Brass – A golden, sun-washed tone that adds brightness and depth.

Olive – A grounded, botanical green that evokes freshness and calm.  

Russet – A deep, dusty red that introduces a radiant, bold contrast.

 

Chic Neutrals in Black and White

The black and white dishes in our Crew Collection offer a contemporary take on a classic neutral, bringing depth and sophistication to any table setting. The scalloped plates and other dishes pair seamlessly with a wide range of styles, from minimalist and contemporary to rustic and eclectic. The black scalloped plates and bowls provide an eye-catching foundation that complements colorful accents, natural textures, and a variety of serveware.  

Golden Versatility in Brass

Brass is a soft, golden tone that brings subtle glamour to our Crew Collection. While vibrant, it also acts as a neutral when layered in place settings, giving a gentle glow to your dinnerware set without overpowering other elements. It is adaptable across all seasons, serving as a golden highlight in autumn and winter or a bright, cheerful yellow note in spring and summer. 

Brass is also one of the core colors in our Fundamentals Collection. The hue pairs beautifully in a monochromatic look with matching color block placemats, napkins, and appetizer utensils, or can be combined with other colors for a personalized, seasonal table setting. 

Earthy Tones in Olive 

Olive is a grounded, nature-inspired green that brings a sense of calm to your dinnerware sets. Its mossy tone naturally bridges the seasons, feeling fresh and leafy in spring and summer, and lush and cozy in the colder months. As a versatile hue, olive blends seamlessly with your existing serveware or acts as a subtle anchor for bolder color combinations. 

Rich Warmth in Russet 

Russet is a deep, terracotta-inspired hue that blends notes of red, grey, and brown to create a dimensional color with refined character. Its natural complexion makes it an ideal choice for a dinnerware set at cozy, seasonal gatherings, while its subtle complexity adds a hint of luxury to any table. As a fresh take on brown, russet complements a variety of home styles – from rustic to contemporary. 

Crew Collection Seasonal Tablescape Styling Inspiration

Whether you’re setting a casual table for a weeknight dinner or styling a layered tablescape for a special occasion, our Crew Collection offers endless inspiration. Its vibrant patterns, scalloped plates, and versatile dinnerware sets shine on their own but also mix tastefully with a range of colors and textures. With just a few thoughtful combinations, you can create a look that feels personal, polished, and seasonally inspired. 

Black For Contrast

Our black and white dishes are perfect in any season. Use the scalloped plates as a strong base to pair with soft whites for a minimalist winter look or mix in metallics and natural textures for a more dramatic design that can make your summer soirées pop.

Brass For Glow

In spring, pair brass scalloped plates with greens or floral pastels for a fresh, uplifting setting. For a more intense palette in autumn, mix it with russet, grey, or olive. Brass also plays well with vibrant hues like pink or blue for a playful twist, or with black and camel browns for an elevated feel. 

Olive for Calm 

Olive's grounded green hue feels fresh in the spring when complemented by soft pastels and light linens. In summer, it adds character when paired with crisp whites {like our Signature White Collection} or citrus patterns {think, Citrus Collection}. Come autumn, layer olive scalloped plates with brass, russet, or ivory accents to create a cozy, harvest-inspired setting. 

Russet for Radiance

Perfect for autumn and winter hosting, russet dinnerware sets add opulence to your table. Pair the russet scalloped plates with natural woods and whites for a textural look, or with black and metallics for a bold feel that works year-round. 

Host All Year Long with Crew Collection Dishes

From casual weeknight dinners to weekend brunches with friends and even formal holiday hosting, the Crew Collection is your year-round dinnerware set companion. Here are some of our favorite pairings, tailored to the gathering you’re hosting: 

Casual Weeknight Dinners 

For casual weeknight dinners, a few thoughtfully chosen styles can make even the simplest meals feel special. Start with the French Blue and Red Color Block Round Placemats for a foundation, then layer on the Black Arabesque Trim Scalloped Plates and finish with Color Block Red Napkins to tie the look together with a vibrant punch of color. 

Weekend Brunch with Friends

For a fun and casual weekend brunch with friends, layer textures and tones for a look that feels both fresh and effortless. Ground your table with the Brass Color Block Round Placemats to start off with a golden glow. Then, stack the Iris Blue Drop Ruffle Dinner Plates with the Brass Arabesque Trim Salad Plates for a mix of soft curves and scalloped plate edges that bring dimension. Complete your table with the Iris Blue Sprout Mugs.

Mix and Match Your Dishes with the Crew Collection

The Crew Collection was designed to be styled your way, and mixing it with our other dinnerware brings even more versatility and personality to your table. Whether you are leaning into color, texture, or seasonality, Crew’s clean silhouettes and expressive tones help balance out bolder patterns and add depth to any table. 

Coton Colors Collections that Pair with Black 

Pair the Crew Collection’s black and white dishes with the Iris Blue Collection designs for a crisp look that works throughout the year. For a more formal occasion, pair black scalloped plates with our Deco Gold Collection for black, white, and gold accents that add a touch of glamour to a celebratory table. Around the holidays, black scalloped plates also work perfectly with the Christmas in the Village Collection, anchoring the vibrant illustrations with contrast and structure. 

Table Styling Ideas with the Crew Brass Color 

The brass color offers a fiery, golden tone that pairs well with a variety of collections and lends a touch of sunshine to your table settings. Try these dinnerware set pairings: 

Citrus Collection – The golden tone in the brass scalloped plates brings out the sunny yellows in the Citrus Collection for a cheerful and seasonal table. 

Thanksgiving Collection – Brass reflects the dusk tone that is prominent in our Thanksgiving Collection, creating a cohesive and inviting table setting for your Thanksgiving dinner.  

O Holy Night Collection – Use brass scalloped plates to echo the golden elements found in our O Holy Night Collection for a bright, festive table. 

Crew Collection Olive Combinations 

Olive brings a calming balance to the punchy tones of the Citrus Collection, picking up on the subtle green elements throughout. It also works flawlessly with the Palm Collection, grounding the foliage-forward design with a soft, natural green. In the colder months, olive scalloped plates layer tastefully with the Balsam and Berry Collection, adding a woodland touch to the classic red and green palette. 

Suggested Russet Pairings

Russet pairs naturally with the Oyster Collection, reflecting the browns and grays. For a neutral and cozy holiday table, layer russet scalloped plates with the O Holy Night Collection. Russet also functions beautifully as a foundational color and looks striking alongside Signature White, soft grey patterns, or even deep navy. 

Balancing Patterns with the Crew Collection 

Outside of dinnerware, the Crew Collection also pairs nicely with patterned table linens, such as those from Pomegranate Inc. If your table setting features fine China or detailed prints, Crew can provide structure and contrast. The clean forms found in the scalloped plates and other dishes act as a visual pause, giving the eye a place to rest while elevating every element at your table. 

With its carefully curated design, expressive color palette, and versatile functionality, our Crew Collection dishes are an essential addition to any host’s dinnerware set. Crew’s simple sophistication lets you set the table with confidence and makes every meal feel complete.
