Vintage tableware

Vintage and antique tableware: porcelain, china and earthenware

The largest ceramic section of the shop includes cups and saucers by makers such as Fürstenberg, Royal Doulton and Royal Crown Derby, Limoges sugar bowls, Villeroy & Boch sauce boats, English crested china, butter dishes, jugs from Bidasoa, Pickman La Cartuja de Sevilla dessert plates and Victorian serving dishes. Most pieces are individual finds, but some are complete sets and the listing tells you how many pieces are included.

What to check before buying tableware

• Completeness: confirm that cups, saucers, lids and stands belong together. The listing counts them.
• Surface: crazing, hairlines and chips are described, and gold bands and printed decorations may show wear.
• Marks: back stamps identify the factory and often the period, and we photograph them.
• Size and capacity: given in centimetres or millilitres when relevant.

Shipping from Spain

Porcelain is shipped by tracked courier after 1–3 business days of preparation. The cost is calculated at checkout from weight and destination. Read the delivery policy for the process.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use antique tableware for food?

Treat it as collectible unless the listing says otherwise. Old glazes and gold decoration are not suitable for dishwashers or for heating, and we do not certify food safety.

Can I buy a single cup without the saucer?

Each listing is the exact item shown in the photographs. Where a cup and saucer are sold together, the title says so.
