Welcome to Kuriosa Europe! Here you will find a wide selection of Scandinavian and European Vintage, Retro and Antique decor. Our collection will be in continuous flux so check back often.
We will combine shipping where possible. We will much rather see your items delivered intact, so we prefer to not put too many items in one box. If you are interested in more than one item, feel free to contact us so we can discuss the best way to ship your items.
Note that all items will be cleaned and ready to use, before they are sent off to you.
Thank you for stopping by!

Information on how I grade my products:
Mint condition
Implies that a particular piece is in as made or like new condition. When using the description terminology mint condition, items are free of chips, cracks, repairs, or similar damage or wear.
Excellent condition
I usually refrain from using mint condition and refer to such condition as excellent condition. If there are no flaws, chips, cracks, discoloration/stains or repairs, the piece is considered to be in excellent condition.
Good condition
Generally means that the piece is in very presentable state and may have defects other than how it left the factory. It may have some minor discoloration, minor wear to gold gilding or sponge gold decoration, minor knife and fork scratches. Defects, if any, will be explained and illustrated by accompanying photos.
Fair condition
Is used to describe a piece that is not necessarily of great value due to its faults and damages which have occurred over the years but still has some collector and decorative value. Such pieces have been devalued due to damages such as chips, cracks, stains and unprofessional repairs.
Great condition
Terminology that is usually reserved for a piece in very good shape that is free from major defects, cracks, stains or repairs. Minor surface patina, slight wear or minor surface scratching is acceptable but is worthy of mention when adding further description of condition.
Poor condition
This is almost never used. However a piece may be for sale that is exactly in this condition. The reason for selling such a piece may be to preserve it for historical value or because it may be very rare or an only known example available to date.
Buyers should read and re-read the conditional description of the piece being made available and take the appropriate decision on a piece before making the final choice of purchase.
Some Basic Pottery and Porcelain terms necessary to understand prior to purchase.
Crazing is the fine crackling one often sees on many glazed pottery pieces and on certain types of antique porcelain. Crazing is in the glaze and is not detectable when one rubs his or her fingernail over the crazing.
A glaze scale is typically an area where the glaze has flaked from an edge or ridge of a piece of pottery. A glaze scale can also occur on stoneware, other types of pottery and chinaware where the glaze did not adequately adhere to the pottery.
Glaze slip, glaze skip or glaze crawl is an area where the glaze did not completely cover the pottery leaving an area or areas of exposed clay.
Glaze bubble or glaze pop occurs during the firing process when air bubbles reach the surface of the glaze and burst.
A hairline crack is a crack that goes into or through the clay body and can be felt with a fingernail. Some pottery is susceptible to hairline cracks from minor abuse because its density is less weighty and less durable. The thinner the earthenware, the more prone it is to having hairline cracking or crazing. '
