Holloware (mostly in American English) or hollow-ware[1] is tableware that forms a vessel or container of some kind, as opposed to flatware such as plates.[2] Examples include sugar bowls, creamers, coffee pots, teapots, soup tureens, hot food covers, and jugs. It may be in pottery, metals such as silver, glass or plastic. It does not include cutlery or other metal utensils. Holloware is constructed for durability.[3] It differs from some other silver-plated items, with thicker walls and more layers of silver plating.[4]
