Not having a caviar caddie at your soirée this summer is like having cereal without milk, or peanut butter without jelly. In other words, if you want to throw a memorable party, you need someone roving the grounds of your manse doling out caviar bumps for everyone.
What is a Caviar Caddy?
A caviar caddy is a refined serving accessory designed to maintain the ideal temperature and presentation of the caviar, thus ensuring that both its flavor and texture remain uncompromised. Their main purpose is to keep your prized caviar at the perfect temperature, usually with a glass or crystal bowl nested inside a larger one filled with ice. Because lukewarm fish eggs are a culinary crime. Incorporating a caviar caddy into your home elevates any dining experience, signaling a discerning palate and a thoughtful approach to entertaining.
Beyond just preserving taste and texture, these sleek vessels, often made of silver, porcelain, or fine glass, add serious visual drama to any table. As a gift, a caviar caddy strikes the perfect balance between utility and luxury. It’s ideal for those who appreciate the finer things and enjoy hosting with flair. Also, a sophisticated gesture that speaks of good taste, both literally and figuratively.
Christofle Vertigo Caviar Set
The Christofle Vertigo Caviar Set is where timeless French craftsmanship meets modern elegance. Christofle is a storied French silversmith with roots dating back to the 19th century. The Vertigo collection is known for its off-kilter, asymmetrical handle detail. This is an intentional design quirk that adds character without sacrificing class. The set features a silver-plated base that cradles a crystal bowl. It creates a pristine environment to serve your caviar in style (once you buy the caviar separately, of course). It doesn’t come stocked, but it does scream sophistication. You can find it at retailers like Christofle boutiques, Bloomingdale’s, or luxury e-commerce platforms.
Price range: $750-$800
William Yeoward Crystal Caspia Seafood & Caviar Server
If you are someone who favors traditional beauty and fine craftsmanship, the William Yeoward Crystal Caspia Server is a standout. It’s known for its hand-blown crystals that border on heirloom quality. This server’s tiered design, a smaller bowl atop a larger one, makes serving caviar and crushed ice both practical and visually elegant. The addition of a mother-of-pearl spoon is a lovely touch (metal spoons are a culinary faux pas). While it doesn’t include caviar, it does deliver serious style at a more approachable price point. You’ll spot this piece at upscale retailers like Gearys Beverly Hills and select specialty stores.
Price range: $130-$140
Erin Hupp for The Caviar Co. Caviar Server
Art meets functionality in the Erin Hupp Caviar Server. This is a collaboration with The Caviar Co. It redefines what a luxury serving piece can look like. Handcrafted and deeply sculptural, this set features a stacked design. The bottom tier holds the ice, while the top folds to cradle your caviar tin or jar. The bonus? Each part is designed to be used individually, giving it versatility beyond just caviar duty. Caviar is sold separately (as is often the case), but The Caviar Co. offers an impressive selection to pair it with. This set is available exclusively through The Caviar Co.
Prince Range: $910
Crystal Caviarera by Plata Lappas (via The Caviar Co.)
Old-world elegance takes center stage with the Crystal Caviarera by Plata Lappas. This one is a family-run Argentine brand with over a century of silversmithing heritage. The piece is all about structure and shine- a cut-crystal ice bowl topped with a silver-plated lid that holds a smaller crystal bowl for the caviar itself. It’s less flashy, more refined, something you’d expect to see in a well-appointed diplomat’s dining room. The craftsmanship reflects Plata Lappas’ long-standing tradition of quality, making it a conversation piece. Caviar, as usual, is sold separately, but this server is available through The Caviar Co.
Price range: Around $400
