It’s honestly like reverse psychology — the more signs we put up saying PLEASE DON’T TOUCH, the more people seem to touch 😭

A little PSA from us: PLEASE, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIGNAGE IN THE SHOP.

We don’t put signs up to be difficult. We’re dealing with vintage and antique pieces that are fragile, often irreplaceable, and quite literally our livelihood.

And we absolutely HATE having to have that awkward conversation with someone about paying for something they’ve broken. We don’t want to do it to anybody, ever. But unfortunately, breakages are happening far too often.

What makes it worse is the abuse and excuses we sometimes cop when we ask people to take responsibility. One time, a man broke a $150 bowl, threw $20 at Mum and walked out after verbally abusing her. 😭

At this rate, having a physical shop where people can come in and experience these beautiful pieces just isn’t going to be sustainable.

So please — if a sign says DON’T TOUCH, please don’t touch. If you want to see something more closely, JUST ASK US! We are always more than happy to take it down and show it to you safely.

We love having a physical shop and sharing all these treasures with you. Please help us keep it that way. ❤️

Finnish glass occupies a distinguished place in the history of 20th-century design. Emerging onto the international stage during the post-war Golden Age of the 1940s–60s, it became celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship, sculptural forms and enduring simplicity.

Inspired by Finland’s forests, lakes and Nordic light, master designers including Alvar Aalto, Tapio Wirkkala, Timo Sarpaneva, Kaj Franck, Oiva Toikka and Helena Tynell transformed molten glass into timeless works of art. Produced by renowned glasshouses such as Iittala, Nuutajärvi, Riihimäen Lasi and Karhula, these pieces continue to embody the essence of Scandinavian modernism.

Today, vintage Finnish glass is admired not only for its beauty, but for its lasting influence on the history of decorative arts and design. Welcome to a small part our collection, we encourage healthy fun discussions of collecting and if you’re passionate about Finnish glass come by and we chat!

Hello lovely beautiful people, thank you so much for your kinds words, such a beautiful community we belong to 🙏 we’re going to do what we do best focus on slinging the best vintage for you, rain and breakages have nothing on us, gotta soldier on. It will take us about 6-8 weeks to get these bowls repaired and it’ll be expensive since the repairer has to sit there and run each broken facet smooth layer by layer. Each bowl will prob be a day of work for him 😮‍💨 but we will not throw anything away rest assured, they’ll be saved and cherished, they’ll have characters 😂

Oh boy this is the worst fatality in the history of our shop! So many beautiful pieces in sizes and colours we’ve never seen damaged during shipping and customs security, this is only a snippet of the hardship of dealing glass. Next time you see one of these perfect beautiful immaculate bowl in our shop, keep in mind what it has to go through to arrive on our shores 😭
