Our Story
Porcelain Vignette began not as a business, but as a passion shared between a mother and son. It all started with my mother who first developed a profound love for the delicate artistry of antique teacups. For years, she carefully collected pieces—each one a silent, beautiful connection to a forgotten era.
The Turning Point: Sharing the Beauty
As the collection grew, so did the desire to share this joy. Porcelain Vignette was born from a simple idea: to thoughtfully re-home the treasures my mother and I found, allowing others to experience the warmth and history these pieces bring into a modern space. I handle the marketing and logistics, having quickly fallen in love with the elegance of the pieces myself.
This is more than commerce; it is curation. Every piece sold is accompanied by the same care and personal attention that went into acquiring it. We are a small, family-run business, and we treat every customer like an extension of our own tea table.
The true value of an antique is not its price, but the story it carries. Our commitment is to ensure that story continues in your home.
Our Promise: Aesthetics, Quality, and Care
Our shared passion guides our standards. We focus on three critical pillars to deliver an exceptional experience:
1. Aesthetic Curation: We select pieces not just for their age, but for their timeless beauty—designs that feel as relevant today as they were a century ago. This ensures your piece integrates seamlessly into contemporary decor.
2. Quality Assurance: The preservation of history is our priority. While in our care, we focus on maintaining the condition of each piece. We ensure all existing character marks or flaws are captured in our high-resolution listing photography.
3. Packaging Protocol: We use a multi-layered packaging process (including extensive padding and custom boxes) designed to guarantee the safe arrival of your delicate antique. We take shipping very seriously.
Thank you for being part of our family’s story. We hope our pieces bring as much joy to your home as they have brought to ours.
