Hi there and thanks for visiting! My name is Ariel, and I created the Brooklyn Teacup with more in mind than just selling beautiful eco-friendly decor. To me, fine china represents family, community, and an appreciation for traditions handed down through the generations by women. Growing up, my mother and grandmother would bring out their fancy dinnerware for the holidays to mark a departure from our daily routines and signify the preciousness of family time.

Today, people of all ages are less likely to purchase china and young couples are less likely to register for fine china when they tie the knot. Some inherit their parents' or grandparents' fine china collections and don't know what to do with them. As a result, beautiful family heirlooms collect dust in cabinets and storage units until they are either donated or (gasp!) tossed in the trash. By upcycling underappreciated vintage heirlooms into practical tiered stands, The Brooklyn Teacup strives to preserve the sentimental essence of fine china so that it is enjoyed and passed down for generations to come.
