Frequently asked questions

No problem. The pieces don't need to be exactly the same as the examples seen here.

To create the ideal proportions for a 3-tier tray, you will want three plates and/or bowls of three different sizes ranging from small to large.

Don't have a cup and/or saucer? Send pieces you do have that would pair nicely.

Unsure about what to send? Book an Upcycle Consultation. We'll review what you have and recommend the best way to transform them into finished pieces you'll love.

We recommend selecting pieces that are free of chips and cracks, when possible. While we take great care when drilling, existing damage can weaken the china and make it more susceptible to additional cracking or breakage during the upcycling process.

Place settings can vary widely and can include plates, bowls and cups of different sizes. To simplify and standardize our offering, we've defined a place setting as the five most commonly included pieces: a dinner plate, salad plate, bread plate, teacup, and saucer.

Think of your upcycled teacup as a petite bowl with a small hole. See the product photos for ideas and inspiration about what you can serve and display in an upcycled teacup.

Heights are approximate as there are slight differences in the lengths of the handles/pillars and the thickness of your china.

  • 3 Tiers = ~15"
  • 2 Tiers = ~10" (includes teacup stands)
  • 1 Tier (i.e. jewelry dish, valet tray) = ~5"

We work with all types of china from delicate fine bone china to heavy ceramics and stoneware. We do not work with glass (milk glass, depression glass, etc.) as pressure applied by hardware can cause the glass to shatter into many pieces (we've learned the hard way!)

You can purchase additional tiered tray hardware on our website.

Yes! If you're in the New York City area—or planning a visit—you can skip the hassle of shipping and schedule a time to drop off your china at our Brooklyn studio.

After purchasing any package, you'll receive a confirmation email with a link to book a time, plus everything you need to know about our convenient same-day upcycling service.
