tableware
Plates and cutlery
Tableware is the dishes, utensils, and serving pieces used for meals—plates, bowls, glasses, forks, knives, spoons.
The term covers both everyday items and formal dining sets: We registered for tableware at three stores.
It overlaps with but is broader than dinnerware, which typically excludes utensils.
