If you’re interested in mid-century (or 18th-century, or non-Western) furniture, try mid-century (or 18th-century, or non-Western) ceramics first. “Ceramics are such a great way to add a vintage touch,” Andrea says, “on a tabletop as part of an arrangement, or in an office to hold stamps”—though if you’re here, you probably already know that.
