Announcement
As a reminder, ALL measurements are approximates especially with my vintage glass pieces. As stated in some listings, the manufacturing processes were not as accurate or regulated in earlier glass as they are today. If you need to have a more accurate measurement, please convo me and I will do my best to be sure your glass pieces are similar in size.
PLEASE carefully read the item descriptions provided for each listing. I've had buyers who purchase based solely on the pictures. Pictures can often be unintentionally deceiving and will not show all of the flaws when buying vintage. The descriptions are provided with details that may not be seen in the pictures such as patina, tiny chips, blotchy foiling, bubbles in the glass (which ALL glass have), etc. If in doubt, please ask questions! We attempt to answer all questions within 24 hrs. Thank you.
Please Note: I have discontinued shipping internationally. I am shipping to previous in good standing Japan customers ONLY this includes a few other customers who are not in Japan. Please send me a convo if there are any questions. Read below...
***Temporarily Suspended*** Many INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING LOCATIONS*** Due to the interference to our U.S. postal services, I have temporarily discontinued shipping to MANY international countries. I apologize for any inconvenience. As a result of the aforementioned, shipping was taking a week or longer to arrive to their U.S. destinations or not being delivered at all. Please keep this in mind when ordering and to allow additional time for your packages to arrive. My typical turn around time once an order is placed is approx. 24 hrs.
U.S. SHIPPING INCREASED RATES. Please note that the listed standard shipping within the U.S. is now $4.50 for up to 4 oz. plus .25 ea additional purchase U.S. or .50 ea international. This barely covers an average package from California to the East Coast. International shipping is now $18.50 as a base rate to Japan and $19.50 to Australia. Any significant overages will be refunded. Customs fees apply during entrance into your country.
NO SAME DAY RUSH ORDERS!!! I will no longer accept rush orders. If you purchase an item and want it rushed, I will be forced to refund your purchase! I cannot be responsible for an item not arriving on time! I have no control over the Post Office. It is often an unreasonable request placed upon a seller. I apologize in advance. Thank you, Lori
As a professional courtesy, please contact me PRIOR to leaving feedback if you are dissatisfied with any item(s) so that I can work with you in remedying any problems. Please allow me the courtesy to respond to all correspondence within 24 hrs.
Please read my announcement below as well as my Policy page for guidelines regarding Vintage Brass patinas, refunds, dissatisfaction and lost packages.
***Vintage brass patinas can vary depending on the age and storage of the piece. Vintage glass are almost never perfect also due to age and storage. Please keep in mind the following:
✿The true color of my items may vary on different computers or in different light so if you need additional photos taken in different lighting, please let me know.
✿Raw brass items – The patina of raw vintage brass can differ from one piece to the next so the pictures are not always representative of what you will receive although I try my best to provide you with the most even patina of each piece.
✿Vintage glass items will invariably come with small chips, discoloration and at times, foreign objects embedded within the glass since the manufacturing processes of the time were not as regulated as they are now.
Again please email me if the above are of a concern. If you are dissatisfied with ANY item in your order, please contact me PRIOR to leaving feedback. As my customer you are my #1 business priority and happy customers = a happy shop owner!
I sell mostly vintage American made brass and glass beads/cameos made in Japan, Czechoslovakia or Germany. I also carry some vintage resin/plastic pieces.
If you love to incorporate vintage components into your jewelry designs or any design, this will be a treasure hunt!!!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
Have fun viewing!!!

5 out of 5 starsHave never seen this exact vintage horse/horses Intaglio, and this one is quite quite nice! There are no scratches, flea bites or sharp broken edges. They are truly new old stock, which is the only condition of vintage that I use. Thanks Lori! These are great!!!
