Products
Are all your items vintage?
No. Most of our collection consists of vintage and antique pieces, alongside a small selection of newly made objects.
Each product page states what the item is where relevant.
What is a café au lait bowl?
A café au lait bowl is a wide bowl without a handle, used in France for breakfast coffee or hot chocolate.
Ours are vintage, from makers such as Digoin, Gien, Longchamp and Lunéville, and each one is different.
What is the difference between vintage and antique?
Antique means a piece is over 100 years old. Vintage means a piece is older than about 20 years, but under 100.

Vintage and antique pieces may show signs of age, use and patina.
We describe and photograph any notable wear, chips, cracks, repairs or other imperfections that we identify.
