Wholesale Tableware & Kitchenware

A lot of the tableware orders we see begin the same way. Someone runs out of something. Maybe the stoneware bowls went in a fortnight when they were meant to last the season. Or the café down the road finally got fed up with platters that don't match. Either way, they now need forty of the same thing, and ideally they needed it last week.

This part of the catalogue is for exactly those people. Mom and pop stores, concept stores, gift shops, garden centres, plus horeca buyers kitting out a restaurant or a small hotel. At Expo Bazaar the idea is simple enough: wholesale kitchen and dining pieces, in the quantities a real shop actually goes through.

All of it is made in India, and quite a lot is made by hand in small workshops. Once it's finished, it's shipped to our warehouse in the Netherlands, and that's where your order leaves from. So when you order wholesale tableware online with us, the stock is already sitting in the EU. You're not waiting six weeks on a boat, and there's no import paperwork for you to chase.

What You'll Find Here

Start with the table linen, because that's where the range goes deepest. The placemats come braided (cotton or polyester) or woven from jute. Some are plain, some have a checker pattern. They mostly sell in fours and sixes, and they're the kind of thing people drop into the basket without much thought. Lay a couple of table runners underneath and your display is half done.

The serveware is where it gets a bit more fun. Our mango wood serving boards have that warm, uneven grain, and a few have a painted colour edge. Customers pick those ones up. Every time.

The marble platters are the other thing to look at. Cool, solid, lovely on a table. Also, heavy. That sounds obvious until you try stacking twelve of them on a shelf that wasn't built for it.

The ceramic dinner plates are handmade too, so the glaze won't be exactly the same from one plate to the next. For a boutique, that's usually a selling point. For a restaurant that wants 200 identical plates, maybe less so. If it matters to you, just ask us first.

Then there's everything else: pasta bowls, serving bowls, side plates, glass tumblers, pitchers, storage jars, cake stands, cheese sets, ice buckets, salad servers and cutting boards. You could fill a whole kitchen and dining corner from this one collection and still have things left to try next time.

Who Usually Buys This

A lot of small shops, if we're honest. A mom-and-pop store can't really justify a pallet of one plate, but a mixed order works fine. A few sets of placemats, a stack of boards, a handful of bowls, and that's a nice shelf sorted.

Gift shops and concept stores tend to head straight for the unusual stuff, like the marble or the painted wood. Horeca buyers are a different story. They want to know a plate will cope with a busy service every night, and that they can reorder the exact same one next spring.

Worth Knowing Before You Order

You'll see wholesale prices and the minimum order value (MOV) as soon as you register, and your first order gets 10% off. Because so much of this is handmade tableware, expect small differences in colour, grain or size. That's normal. It isn't a fault.

Keep an eye on the availability filter too. "In stock" means now. "Coming soon" means later, and if you're planning around Christmas or a spring reset, that gap really matters.

On bigger orders, we'd always suggest getting a sample. Finding out you don't love a finish is a lot cheaper on one board than on sixty.

How Ordering Works

Most people just register, have a look at the prices and place the order themselves. If you'd rather hold the pieces first, come and see us at one of our B2B cash and carry stores in Aalsmeer, Venlo, Ede or Brussels.

Planning something bigger, like a restaurant fit-out or a refresh across a few shops? Send us a request for quote and we'll work out pricing for that volume.

Questions Retailers Often Ask

Where can I buy wholesale tableware in Europe?

Online once you've registered, or in person at our cash and carry stores in Aalsmeer, Venlo, Ede and Brussels. Online orders go out from the Netherlands to addresses across Europe.

Is there a minimum order?

There is. It's a minimum order value, and you'll see the exact figure after you sign up.

Is it all handmade?

Not all of it, but a good part. Expo Bazaar works with artisans and manufacturers across India, and plenty of the ceramics, wood and textiles are made by hand.

Do you work with restaurants and hotels?

Yes. Horeca buyers order plates, bowls, boards and ice buckets from this range. For a big or repeat order, a quote request is the quickest way to get volume pricing.

What does wholesale tableware cost?

It depends on the material, the piece and how many you want. Marble and handmade ceramics usually cost more per piece than cotton or jute. Register and you'll see current prices.
