Welcome to Circa Glass

This site was last updated on 21.07.2010.
We specialise in twentieth century decorative and collectable glass. You can see and purchase our glass from this site or meet us at the fairs at which we exhibit. We try to show a varied selection of the glass we have for sale but if you do not see what you are looking for, please get in touch: we may have it in stock or be able to find it for you. If you would like further information about an item or a different image, please contact us.

Orders

If you are interested in a particular piece then let us know by e-mail or telephone and we will give you the price including postage. In order to save on postage costs we are always happy to make an arrangement to meet you at a fair.

We are very experienced at packaging glass and to date no pieces have been damaged in the post.

All pieces offered for sale are in excellent condition other than occasional minor imperfections commensurate with age. It is extremely important to us that our customers are happy with their purchase, and so you have the opportunity to return the item(s) within three weeks if you are not completely satisfied. All we ask is that you let us know in advance and return the piece(s) in the same condition with the same or similar packaging and we will return your payment upon receipt. In the unlikely event of your item arriving damaged or broken, please retain all packaging until a claim lodged with Royal Mail is concluded.


Payment

We accept payment by personal cheque. It usually takes 7 days for payment to clear after which we will dispatch your order.
