8 Entertaining Pieces Grandma Loved - And We Still Do Too

What's an epergne, you ask? It's a wildly decorative centerpiece that could hold flowers or food, but its main purpose is to serve as an eye-catching delight in the middle of a table.

Grey Joyner, owner of Grey Joyner Interiors in Wilson, North Carolina, uses hers to arrange flowers, but she keeps it out as a sculptural piece even when she's not entertaining. "I remember my grandmother having an epergne growing up and I always loved it. It’s truly a work of art on its own and it ends up being a conversation starter when we have people over because it’s so unique," says Joyner.
