12 Dishware Finds So Good You'd Never Know They Were From Dollar Tree

You don't need to splurge on dinnerware to achieve the aesthetic you want, whether you enjoy hosting frequent dinner parties or are looking to update your everyday dishware. Dollar Tree has an endless supply of affordable kitchen essentials that you would never guess were just a few bucks. Products such as classic margarita glasses, crystal-like serveware, pink-hued wine glasses, and abstract-shaped bowls are just a few examples of what you can find at this extreme-discount store.

The key to selecting the best tableware products from Dollar Tree is to compare options against dupes from more upscale retailers like Anthropology, Pottery Barn, and Crate&Barrel. You can also go off of appearance or material, like if something is made of stoneware or thick glass. These are all products that receive great customer reviews, have stylish patterns or finishes, are made with durable materials, or look similar to expensive alternatives. 

Dollar Tree's Textured Glass Coolers have a striking, hammered-like finish that would make you second-guess that they're actually $1.50 a piece. Their design is also similar to Crate&Barrel's Mercer recycled highball-glass cups, which go for about $13 each, so they're a good low-cost alternative if you like the look. In addition to their stylish appearance, customers praise them for being a good thickness while still being easy to hold, and there's a finger indent spot on the side for a seamless grip. 

This stemless dupe from Dollar Tree echoes the vibes of Anthropologie's selection of colorful wine glasses. The Pink Sprayed Stemless Wine Glass is $1.50 and comes from the well-known Libbey glassware brand. The pastel hues can be displayed on open shelves or on the counter of your home wine bar. The price allows you to collect enough to serve lots of guests, and they'll be stunned to learn where you got them. These glasses can also be used to set the tone for rosé theme nights or pink mocktails. 

The Royal Norfolk Turquoise Swirl Stoneware collection includes matching Dinner Plates, Side Plates, Bowls, and Mugs (all sold separately). They're a highly sought-after kitchen find at Dollar Tree since they closely resemble expensive dinnerware sets from Bed Bath & Beyond and Pottery Barn, at a fraction of the price. Customers love how vibrant, sturdy, and budget-friendly they are. The collection is also dishwasher- and microwave-safe, making cleanup as well as reheating leftovers a breeze. Some people have issues with broken plates (due to packaging) when ordering online, so consider shopping in-store first, and only ordering online for extra pieces. 

Dollar Tree's $1.50 Clear Glass Mugs fulfill their purpose without sacrificing quality, giving you permission to splurge on your favorite local IPA or craft beers. Each mug has a volume of 26.5 ounces, so there's more than enough clearance for the iconic beer foam layer — or whipped cream, should you be repurposing them for milkshakes. They're such a good price that some customers add decals to them ahead of parties or to create customized gifts. 

Before you panic buy a set of pricey margarita glasses from Williams Sonoma for a chips and queso night, check the stock at your local discount store. You can buy quality-looking margarita glasses from Dollar Tree for $1.50 each. These home bar serving essentials have thick stems and a textured bowl design that adds visual interest, especially when accessorized with a salted rim, lime wedge, and margarita mix. Customers also love to use these as fancy ice cream bowls, as part of margarita kit gifts, and as the base for crafts — how cute would a margarita-themed candle be? 

This Dollar Tree find can be a decorative serving bowl or a versatile piece to transform into a stunning DIY centerpiece. Each decorative clear glass bowl is $1.50 and exudes "thrifted" energy without the vintage status price tag. It features a patterned base, a scalloped rim, and a ribbed design in the middle. Many customers pair these with candlestick holders to create elaborate table centerpieces, but they work just as well as an addition to your buffet table. 

This Dollar Tree Irish coffee mug looks practically identical to ones from Bed Bath & Beyond and World Market, but it's not nearly as expensive. Despite being $1.50, it's made of glass and has a sleek design with vertical ribbed detailing on the stem. Use it for morning coffee, ice cream, fruit parfaits, or specialty Irish coffee drinks. Overall, customers seem to be very satisfied with this find. However, be careful not to pour extremely hot or boiling liquid inside, as it can cause the glass to break or explode. Additionally, buying in-store is better than online, as many reviews highlight glasses coming broken as a result of bad packaging. 

The Royal Norfolk Lemon-Printed White Stoneware collection has Dinner Plates, Bowls, Coffee Mugs, and Drinking Glasses, all with the same citrus-inspired pattern. Each individual piece is $1.50, so if you were to purchase enough for four people, it would only be $24. This is much more affordable compared to Mikasa's Lemons dinnerware collection, which sells a set for four people at $139. However, it still has a similar design. Apart from reviews that stated the drinking glasses broke too easily or that plates arrived broken when purchased online, most customers rave about how good Dollar Tree's lemon dinnerware looks for the price. 

These square stoneware bowls by Royal Norfolk are very reminiscent of Williams Sonoma's Pillivuyt Eclectique Porcelain Cereal Bowls in their abstract shape and sleek modern style. Their stoneware construction makes them durable enough to put in the microwave and the dishwasher. Customer reviews show that the $1.50 bowls are a big hit, with many saying they went back to purchase more or were impressed by their durability over time. The overall consensus is that these underrated Dollar Tree items are an everyday must-have for everything from cereal to soup. 

Dollar Tree sells Mediterranean-patterned Dinner Plates, Side Plates, Bowls, and Coffee Mugs that are very intricately detailed for discount buys. Every piece features a black-and-white mandala design that works well with vibrant tablescapes and bohemian interiors. Since each item is $1.50, a service for four would be around $24. As a comparison, Bed Bath & Beyond has a similar 16-piece (service for four) dinnerware set for $66 dollars. 

Just because crystal drinkware isn't within your budget doesn't mean you can't get the look. Dollar Tree's Aztec Heavy Base Glass Cooler is a close match to the Williams Sonoma Dorset Highball Glasses — just minus the hand-cut crystal and the hefty price tag. For $1.50, this drinking glass serves up a crystal-esque style with vertically ribbed glass and a clear weighted base. The design also makes drinks appear suspended within the cup — great for elevating basic cocktails or plain H2O. 

The Contemporary White Square Stoneware Plates by Royal Norfolk are a budget-friendly swap for the $140 bone china set available on Birch Lane and similarly priced square dinnerware on other sites. Based on customer reviews, it's best to shop for these plates in-store versus online, as you can weigh the differences in glaze finish and coloration better. However, the majority of customers seem to get good use out of this product and are pleasantly surprised with how they hold up.
