We will handpick to suit your requirements as long as items are available.

HOWEVER All VINTAGE CHINA ITEMS, should be rinsed out & dried prior to return to avoid staining.

Failure to rinse items can result in tea, coffee and other stains that will damage the china, in this event a full replacement charge would be invoiced.

This is to ensure that they are sparkly clean and well wrapped for our next hirer to enjoy.
