How to Create a Mixed and Matched Vintage Stemware Collection

Add some character and charm to your table with a curated vintage stemware collection

Vintage stemware can add character and charm to your table, and creating a mixed and matched collection is a great way to add some personality to your home. But where do you start? Here are some tips for creating a mixed and matched vintage stemware collection:

Choose a theme: A theme can help you focus your collection and give it cohesiveness. Some themes to consider might be a specific color, a type of glass (e.g., cut glass, etched glass, etc.), a particular era, or a designer.

Look for variety: While a theme can help you focus your collection, it's also important to look for variety within that theme. This can add interest and depth to your collection. For example, if your theme is cut glass, look for different patterns, shapes, and sizes of cut glass stemware.

Mix and match: The beauty of a mixed and matched collection is that you don't have to match everything perfectly. In fact, the mismatched look is part of the charm. So don't be afraid to mix and match different stemware within your theme. Just be sure to balance the overall look by considering the shape, size, and color of the stemware.

Shop smart: To build your collection, you can shop at estate sales, thrift stores, antique stores, and online marketplaces. Just be sure to check the condition of the stemware before you buy, as vintage stemware can sometimes have chips, cracks, or other imperfections.

By following these tips, you can create a beautiful and unique vintage stemware collection that adds character and charm to your table. So start shopping and mix and match your way to a one-of-a-kind collection.
