What do you mean by Vintage?
To us, vintage is anything older than 20 years old. Antiques are older and we class these as over 100 years old.
What condition are your items in?
This depends on the piece! We love the thought that each piece holds a memory. Whose lips touched that cup and who picked out that item and why? With use comes wear and this is reflected on the china.
Fair wear- to be expected unless we state like new! Scratch marks from cutlery, small crazing due to age and the manufacturing process, and small amounts of gilt loss are to be expected. You may also find some firing marks from the kiln! All absolutely normal signs of wear.
Moderate wear- more crazing, gilt loss and perhaps a small hairline. These items will still be useable. Cups will still ring true and plates fine to use.
Hairlines, chips and cracks will always be described accurately and priced accordingly. These pieces make great props or display items.
