You Should Be Shopping for Vintage Dinnerware at Etsy
Upgrade your glassware, decor and more with Etsy's verified vintage sellers!
Etsy
Online shopping enthusiasts, rejoice! If you love hunting for a good vintage score but hate digging through the dust-covered corners of an estate sale or spending the whole day dragging your finds through a massive flea market, we're happy to report that there is an easier way. Look for beautiful vintage-inspired dinnerware on Etsy. Normally known as a destination for all things crafts and DIY, there’s been a major uptick in sellers offering old-school dinnerware and glassware.
“Shoppers are increasingly gravitating towards nostalgic, vintage pieces when decorating their spaces — in fact, searches on Etsy for retro decor have spiked 28% [in the last twelve months compared to the year prior]," says Etsy trend expert, Dayna Isom Johnson. “This holiday season is no exception, as many embrace ‘kitchen kitsch’ — one of my favorite trends that is all about incorporating fun, retro kitchen accessories, like glassware, that are equal parts stylish and sustainable.”
Etsy’s Vintage Verification Process
Another bonus of vintage shopping with Etsy is that they handle the tricky part of verifying an item for you. When sellers open a shop or list an item on Etsy, they agree to follow the site’s policies and terms of use, but they also agree to a vintage policy. The big qualifier is that any item labeled vintage is at least 20 years old. Vintage sellers could also be asked to provide specific info to Etsy like what an item is made of, how they’ve determined its age, or even showing pictures of key vintage indicators.
So curl up in your favorite sweats, grab a glass of wine and enjoy scouring Etsy for some of these stunning finds. Here are a few sellers to get you started.
