Discover most common questions
Are your glassware and decor items authentic vintage pieces or modern reproductions?
We specialize in authentic antique and vintage items. Every piece of glass, barware, and home decor is a genuine historical artifact unless explicitly labeled as a modern retro-inspired reproduction in the product description.
What types of non-glass home decor do you sell?
Alongside our extensive glass collection, we curate a variety of vintage home accents. This includes mid-century modern ceramics, retro metalware, classic ashtrays, vintage lighting fixtures, and unique sculptural pieces that complement retro and antique aesthetics.
How often do you add new vintage glassware and decor to the shop?
Our inventory is constantly evolving as we discover new treasures. We typically update our online storefront with freshly sourced glass and decor pieces every week. Subscribe to our newsletter to get early access to our newest vintage finds.
How do I know if an antique glass item is safe to use for food or drink?
While many of our vintage glassware pieces are perfectly safe for daily use, some very old antique glass (such as lead crystal or uranium glass) is best kept for display. We include usage recommendations in the product descriptions for items that require special consideration.
How do you pack fragile glass and decor to ensure it arrives safely?
We are experts at shipping delicate items. Every piece of glassware and fragile decor is meticulously double-boxed, wrapped in high-density bubble wrap, and suspended in biodegradable packing peanuts to absorb any impact during transit.
Is shipping insurance included for high-value antique glass?
Yes. All of our shipments are fully insured for the total purchase price. In the highly unlikely event that a one-of-a-kind antique is lost or broken in transit, you are completely covered.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we safely ship our vintage glass and decor worldwide. Shipping costs, international duties, and customs fees are automatically calculated at checkout based on the weight and destination of your order.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Amex), PayPal, and Apple Pay. All transactions are securely encrypted.
Do you accept returns on vintage and antique items?
Yes, we offer a 14-day return window. Because vintage items are unique and often have natural wear, we ask that you carefully review all photos and condition notes before purchasing. If the item isn’t the perfect fit for your home, you can return it for a refund (minus return shipping costs).
What if my item arrives damaged or broken?
We take immense pride in our packaging, but transit accidents occasionally happen. If your glassware or decor arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours with clear photos of the broken item and the original packaging. We will immediately process a full refund or store credit.
What if the item looks slightly different in person than it did on the website?
We strive to photograph our glass and decor in natural lighting to capture their true colors and details. However, due to the nature of antique glass (which can change color depending on lighting) and variations in monitor displays, slight color differences can occur.
How do you assess the condition of your vintage glass and decor?
We thoroughly inspect every piece under bright lights. We look for chips, cracks, “flea bites” (micro-chips on glass rims), cloudiness, and structural integrity. Any flaws, even minor ones consistent with age, are clearly documented in the product description and photographed.
How should I clean and care for my vintage glassware?
We strongly advise against putting any vintage or antique glass in the dishwasher. The harsh detergents and high heat can cause permanent clouding or cracking. Always hand wash your vintage glassware with mild dish soap and lukewarm water, and dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Where do you source your antique glassware and home decor?
Our team sources items from estate sales, private vintage collections, specialized antique auctions, and trusted dealers across the country to bring you the highest quality and most unique retro pieces.
Do your vintage items come with certificates of authenticity?
Because most mid-century and antique mass-produced glass did not originally come with paperwork, we do not provide formal certificates. However, we guarantee the era, maker (when identifiable), and condition of the item as described in our expert listings.
