China Cat Collectibles

China Cat Collectibles China Cat Collectibles was created from a lifelong love of vintage and the joy of finding special treasures that deserve a second life. The mission is simple.

To bring happiness to others through eclectic, carefully curated vintage pieces offered at fair and honest prices. The passion began in the early 90s with a personal collection built around beloved classics like Merry Mushrooms, Arnel’s ceramics, and beautiful vintage glass. What started as a hobby soon grew into a fascination with the craftsmanship, history, and stories behind every unique piece.

At 17, the dream job of picking for a vintage shop opened the door to a world of discovery. From deadstock and mom and pop shops to auctions and private estate sales, the hunt for hidden gems became a lifelong passion. Today most weekends are spent treasure hunting at garage sales, estate sales, and second hand shops across Vancouver Island, always searching for those rare diamonds in the rough. China Cat Collectibles has a special love for treasures from the 1950s through the 1970s including Merry Mushroom, Arnel’s, Empoli, Murano, Blenko, Fenton, and specialty glass such as Uranium, Cadmium, Selenium, Neodymium, Praseodymium, and Europium. Each piece is thoughtfully sourced and carefully chosen with the hope it finds the perfect new home and continues its story.
