Customer Testimonials | See what they have to say!
I was nervous about receiving such a large, fragile item from Australia to Canada, but everything was extremely well packaged and arrived safe! Shipping was also quick, especially considering the distance and current restrictions. A wonderful buying experience!
Excellent quality, exactly as described, exceeded expectations! Wonderful shopowner, incredible communication, everything was so easy. Danny Meyer says hospitality exists when you feel the person on the other side of the transaction is on your side--this was on parade here. Excellent all around--thank you!
Beautiful, one-of-a-kind coupe glasses that I couldn't find anywhere else. Packed with care and safely delivered halfway across the world in a timely fashion to make the perfect Christmas gift!
Stan has such a great eye for beautiful vintage and retro pieces. I’ve made a number of purchases now and everything is always shipped quickly and with the highest level of care. Definitely recommend!
Really beautiful bowls. They were packaged so well!! Like really, really, really well... I think a train could have run over the box and the bowls would have been just fine.
So thank you very much for your attention.
And gosh, they are very pretty and unique. I can feel the history of all the clever hands that have used them to feed others. They have a new home and they will get a lot of use. These are not shelf sitting bowls around here!
Perfect and speedy transaction! My mother also purchased a vintage mug as a gift for me from this store and that transaction was flawless as well. A+ all the way around!! Highly recommend!!
