Frequently asked questions

How do I return an order once it has been delivered?

We accept returns as long as we are notified within 3 days of delivery and if it’s shipped out within 7 days.

We do have a restocking fee of 20% of the order total and buyer is responsible for shipping (and associate costs) back to us. .

Restocking is to cover our costs associated with prepping, packing, and shipping the order out when it was originally purchased, and unpacking and restocking when it comes back in a return.

We work hard to accurately describe our items to minimize returns. We do understand that sometimes life happens and events get cancelled so we do our best to accommodate our customers during these times.

Mismatched Sets: Will I receive the exact same items shown in the photos?

Likely Not. Because we only offer vintage pieces we rarely get in duplicates and most manufacturers are no longer in business so we can't reorder, we procure our pieces from estate sales and auctions and have an ever changing inventory weekly. The listing photos are only to be viewed as examples of what mismatched china can look like together. The actual pieces you receive will be a unique surprise upon unboxing.

Mismatched Sets: Will I be able to choose the specific vintage dishes I receive?

The beauty of our mismatched sets is in the surprise! Due to the unique nature of vintage items and our high volume of orders, it’s not feasible for us to offer the choice of specific pieces or provide photos of the exact items you will receive. Each order is a curated experience designed to delight with unexpected patterns and designs.

Mismatched Sets: Can I request photos of the items you will be sending in my order?

We appreciate your enthusiasm, but we’re unable to accommodate requests for photos of the specific items in your order. Our mystery listings are crafted for those who love the excitement of a surprise and the allure of vintage china, without a preference for particular details. This approach allows us to efficiently manage our inventory and keep the mystery alive for our customers.

Mismatched Sets: What can I expect to receive when I purchase your mismatched china?

Your bespoke mismatched set will include a mix of beautiful vintage china, carefully curated from our stock at the time of your purchase. While the specific items will be a surprise, you can look forward to receiving a variety of colors, patterns, and designs, all of which are vintage, with many pieces hailing from the mid-century. Our customers love the variety and the thrill of discovering what’s inside their very own curated mismatched set!

Mismatched Sets: Who are they for? Why are they so popular?

Our customers adore the mystery aspect of these specially curated mismatched sets. It's the most popular listing in our shop because it offers the thrill of surprise and discovery, appealing to lovers of vintage china who are open to an array of styles, colors, and patterns. It’s a delightful adventure in every package, perfect for those who cherish the unique charm of vintage finds. If you are seeking specific styles/patterns etc it would likely be better for you to purchase what you want individually either from listings we have of individual specific pieces or from others here on Etsy. Our mismatched sets are truly for those who want and appreciate an eclectic mismatched set curated for them, and look forward to the surprise it brings.

Do you offer wholesale?

At this time we do not offer wholesale specifically but for those wanting to purchase large quantities (anything over 40 pieces per dish type) we do offer volume pricing. If this is something you are interested in, please send us a message letting us know what you would like and we will create a custom quote for you. We often curate large sets for weddings, special events and oversized plate wall installations. We love working on larger projects so if that is something you require don't hesitate to reach out, we are happy to help.

Are your dishes Vintage?

Yes, we specialize in high-quality vintage porcelain, including fine and bone china, sourced from esteemed global manufacturers. Our collection ranges from 20 to 120 years old, each piece selected for its craftsmanship and timeless appeal.

It's important to note that while Etsy is a marketplace for unique, handmade, and vintage items, some sellers may not adhere to these standards and are unfortunately offering new, low-quality dishes that do not meet Etsy’s guidelines for vintage goods. We are committed to upholding the integrity of our offerings. In our shop, you will only find authentic, quality vintage treasures that celebrate the artistry of the past. Thank you for choosing authenticity and quality at The Delicate Dish.
