Unique Style: In addition to being unique, something all of your friends don’t already have in their homes, vintage glassware withstands aging quite well. With a minimal amount of care, glass and China made hundreds of years ago will maintain its color, clarity and sparkle.
The stunning blue Moon & Stars goblet I bought on a first date with my now husband won’t fade by the time it’s passed down to my niece. My great grandmother’s beautiful pressed glass bowl used at my parents wedding reception looked brand new when it held flowers at my own wedding.
Quality and Value: You already know that you never regret buying quality pieces. Vintage glassware only increases in value as time goes on. The same can’t be said for overproduced basic plates and cups you can buy from three different big box stores. While they are functional, they hold no value or historical significance – and are out of style in no time. I jokingly tell my husband that “I have glass money.” He may roll his eyes but even he is shocked when I start listing the value of my collections. The best part? They continue to grow in value!
Environmentally Friendly: In a world that is being buried in disposable items, vintage glassware is an extremely stylish way to recycle! Rather than buying candles in throw away containers that end up in our landfills, you can have unique goblets or whiskey glasses – with zero waste. There aren’t many times in life where you get to have it all. With our re-imagined glassware, you are purchasing something beautiful and functional - and you get to feel good about lowering your footprint on the planet.
Trend Proof: As if you needed another reason to buy vintage, it’s trend proof! These items have already stood the test of time and are here to stay. You can mix and match with your current and future home décor. Vintage is timeless. It’s classic. Your home style is often temporary - changing throughout your life. The vintage pieces that you find and love will remain, and continue to work with your current and future style.
Memories: Anyone that knows me knows I am sentimental. A major plus for me is creating memories. My niece and nephew have their own teacup collection at our house. That’s what they use at every meal we have together. At Christmas, we pull out a 3-tiered tray that belonged to my grandparents. It’s one of my earliest Christmas memories. These beautiful things are reminders. When our loved ones are no longer with us, these pieces are - and they help keep their memory and stories alive.
