Hill House Wares flower border

Welcome to Hill House Wares, established September 2003. Items listed as "excellent" condition are as close to "mint" as they can get. Items in "very good" condition may have some slight scratches or a manufacturing flaw that takes them out of the excellent category but if it is a noticeable defect, I try to spell it out. "Good" items have noticeable wear and again, I spell it out. Buyer pays all shipping and handling costs. See instructions on placing orders for details. Before placing an order, please be sure to read my ordering and return policies. I AM NOT AN IDENTIFICATION SERVICE AND I DO NOT PROVIDE APPRAISALS. Most of the items featured are no longer being manufactured and nearly all items are used.I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY. If you ever receive an item that has been damaged in shipment be sure to contact me immediately (within 72 hours) and save all the packaging materials so an inspector can review them. Do not remove my labels until you are sure there is no damage or problems with the purchase. Take a photo of the damage with the label showing. I do not accept merchandise back or issue refunds if the labels are not intact. I realize that removing labels can be annoying. However, they do protect me from dishonest customers who want to return their own damaged items claiming that they are the items I shipped. Labels can be easily removed by soaking the item in warm water for about 10 minutes. If you have any questions, be sure to email me at: hill.donna@sbcglobal.net. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME TO BUY YOUR DINNERWARE, GLASSWARE, ETC., AS I PREFER TO LOOK AT EVERY PIECE I BUY AND BUYING OTHER THAN LOCALLY (SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA) IS TOO COST PROHIBITIVE. Thank you for visiting and reading my homepage! I do appreciate it.

I also offer a few foreign companies such as: Spode, Copeland, Royal Doulton, and Wedgwood. Although used, the dinnerware pieces generally show little wear and tear. Most of the manufacturers listed have gone out of business so their patterns are getting harder and harder to find. Franciscan Pottery had several lines of glassware; such as Madeira manufactured by Tiffin and Cabaret, by Fostoria. Look for these under the name of the manufacturer in Glassware. I do have some of the English Desert Rose glassware and that is listed under Dinnerware/Franciscan/Desert Rose (Eng).

Vintage Champagne Glasses Royal Doulton, Royal Worcester, Unknown Barware, Unknown Vintage Champagne Whenever I can identify the manufacturer of a piece of glass, I list it under that manufacturer's name (such as Tiffin's Special Thistle champagne glasses). The vintage champagne glasses I feature under this category are either of unknown origin or I have not been able to confirm/verify the manufacturer. Many of these champagne glasses have very similar shapes with subtle variations which I have tried to describe. Many of those pictured here were made in the late 1800's up to the 1920s so it is very difficult to track them down. I appreciate any help I can get in positively identifying the makers.
