About Us
AntiqueDinnerwareNL is an antique porcelain shop based in the Netherlands,
founded and operated by collector Jackey, who has been collecting since
the 1980s and trading antique porcelain for over 10 years. We specialize in one-of-a-kind antique dinner sets, tea sets, and fine china from renowned makers such as Limoges, Royal Albert, Meissen, and the Staffordshire potteries. Each piece is personally sourced by Jackey at European auctions and estate sales.
Jackey also offers a bespoke search service, hunting down specific items on
request and always going the extra mile to provide exceptional service. Every
order is carefully packed using over 25 years of experience shipping fragile
goods worldwide. Our clientele primarily consists of American interior
designers and collectors who appreciate the beauty and history of authentic
European porcelain.
Who runs AntiqueDinnerwareNL?
The shop is run by Jackey, a Netherlands-based collector who has been collecting antique porcelain since the 1980s and opened the shop over 9 years ago. Since then she has completed more than 1,100 sales with a 4.9-star average across 360 public reviews on the AntiqueDinnerwareNL Etsy shop.
"Since my childhood, I wanted to be an archaeologist. I lived the thrill of the hunt, I wanted to discover the origins of sets, antiques, items, and the magical idea of who and how people used them."

Where does the porcelain come from?
Every piece is sourced in person by Jackey at auction houses, estate clearances and specialized antiques fairs, mostly in France, Germany, England and the Benelux. Nothing is bought from wholesale lists or drop-shipped.
Exact dating and provenance details are available on request for any piece in the shop, and specific pieces can be hunted down on request through the bespoke search service.
How does AntiqueDinnerwareNL grade condition?
Each set is examined piece by piece before listing: chips, hairlines, gilt wear and old repairs are photographed and described in the listing, and every listing photographs the maker's backstamp so buyers can verify it independently. Jackey restores porcelain herself when a piece warrants it, and any restoration is always disclosed.
"I look at the way they baked the china and used molds. I check if the markings are original and inspect the state and quality of the piece."

Does antique porcelain survive international shipping?
Yes. Each piece is individually wrapped, double-boxed and insured, drawing on more than 25 years of experience packing fragile goods. The shop's 4.9-star review history across 1,100+ sales reflects that record in practice.
We also offer full insurance with complete contact information or you can arrange your own carrier upon request. Contact us for any special requests.
Who buys from AntiqueDinnerwareNL?
The shop's clientele is primarily American interior designers and collectors, alongside buyers furnishing a table with history and set decorators sourcing authentic period tableware for historical productions, films and photo shoots. For productions, the advantage is simple: a genuine 19th-century table cannot be faked.
