Remember the beautifully painted tea sets and porcelain candy boxes lovingly displayed at Grandma’s house? Such family antiques were treasures passed tenderly down from generation to generation. As pieces became lost or damaged through accidents of use and time, however, the tradition of passing down such family heirlooms has waned. Fortunately, the wholesale distributor and importer Hand and Heart is helping to renew the tradition with its distinctive selection of over 4,000 high-quality ceramics, collectibles and fashion accessories.
