Everything we offer has been previously owned and had a prior owner who loved and took care of it... All of the items and Patterns we carry are first quality and most have long been discontinued by the original Manufacturer and are often hard to find in any quantity in your local area. Our Buyers search Auctions and other Secondary Markets throughout the US and strive to bring to you for your browsing pleasure - a carefully curated mix of Preowned Collectible Vintage Dinnerware items and more Contemporary Preowned Replacement China items to complete your Set, add to your Collection or just find that missing piece you've long been searching for...
Why spend Top Dollar for a new item in your Pattern when you can have a first quality Preowned item for a fraction of the cost. Ceramics are very durable and most of the replacements we sell look as good, (if not better) than the ones in your current set.
Our MissionCeramic Dinnerware is made up of Clay, Water and other "Earthy" materials that are formed with fire and heat into a durable Ceramic item that is relatively fragile - but with care - it can potentially last for a thousand years and look as good as the day it was made. So if a Dinnerware item is in perfect condition and still beautiful, why should it just be discarded or end up in the Landfill after just one owner?
On the other hand, because these items are fragile, accidents happen and some of your precious family heirlooms may have been lost or damaged over time. Your Grandmother, Mother, Aunt or other Special Family member may have started out with a full Dinnerware set many years ago - but time has taken its toll...
Even as the fond memories from all the family gatherings have become a part of these beautiful Collections, Salt Shakers and Cups may have been dropped, Plates and Bowls have been chipped, and items have been lost or damaged during countless household moves. Or even perhaps at some point a Set was split up between siblings or other relatives so everyone could have some of the precious family memories preserved in their own household - even if having half or part of a set makes it less practical to use for creating new family memories at future gatherings...
That's where we come in...
