Our Story

A love for beautiful objects and their stories.

Gifted Vintage began with two people who could not walk past a beautiful old piece. We find vintage porcelain, glass and small treasures, learn what we can about each one, and send it on — carefully packed — to a new home where it will be loved again.

Gentle washing by hand, safe shelves away from direct sun, and how to show a collection at its best.
