It started with a turquoise Le Creuset French oven tucked in the back corner of an estate sale, ignored and unappreciated. Dusty from years of neglect and coated with a thick layer of blackened history, with each scrub and rinse I couldn't help but think of all the stories this dish would tell if it could; all the mealtime memories and holiday gatherings and luncheons and dinner parties during which it played a role.

It's these moments we want to revive at KitchenCulinaria. With each scrub and rinse, we're salvaging these memories from the depths of obscurity and serving them up to you, one piece at a time. All items have been carefully sourced, cleaned and selected to represent the best that mid century to retro kitchens have to offer. I take pride in providing you accurate and detailed information on your item so you can purchase with confidence, knowing the provenance and time period of the latest addition to your home. When you purchase vintage cookware, you're getting more than a solid tried, tested and true piece of kitchenry - you're inserting yourself into the fabric of American domesticity.

Thank you for browsing through the treasures at KitchenCulinaria! You never know when you'll find that perfect piece to add vintage charm, mid century style, folk whimsey or a retro touch to your hearth.
