PORCELAIN & PLUME

Fine Chinese Antiquities, Silk & Rare Objets

Vancouver, B.C. · By Private Appointment Only

Step inside. Some things are only shown to those who ask.

A small selection from the current inventory — viewed by candlelight only.

The Collection

A small, considered inventory. Nothing is labelled twice, and nothing is quite what the provenance card claims.

Porcelain & Celadon

Ming-inspired glazework and hand-turned vases, each piece carrying more history than it lets on.

Silk & Textile

Bolts of hand-loomed silk and brocade, too fine for daylight. Handled by appointment only.

Featherwork & Plume

Rare peacock and pheasant featherwork, gathered from collections that no longer officially exist.

Rare Imports

Objects of unclear provenance and undeniable charm. We don't ask where they've been. Neither should you.

"We deal in beautiful things with complicated histories — porcelain that has outlived its owners, silk that has seen more parties than most people, feathers from birds far too proud to explain themselves. Every piece in this house has a story it isn't telling you. Some are older than they look. Some are younger. One, in particular, turns a year older this week and still insists she's priceless." — The Proprietor

Napa wedding at dusk

Where It Began

A wedding in Napa, champagne doing its job a little too well, and two strangers who became fast friends before the first course was cleared. We had no idea what we were starting.

Shipping label for the photo book

The Photo Book Incident

Ordered, printed, and shipped internationally — all while thoroughly, gloriously elevated. An all-time bit. Still undefeated.

Impromptu trip to San Francisco

Zero Sleep, Infinite Chaos

An impromptu drive to San Francisco on no sleep and questionable judgment — followed immediately by an afternoon nap so serious it deserved its own medal.

Poolside in Las Vegas

Day-Drunk by Design

Vodka and Starbucks Refreshers by the pool, because hydration is a spectrum and we were living our best, laziest life.

The Great Cricket Plague

No explanation. No warning. Just a full-blown biblical event, survived together, never fully discussed since. We do not talk about the crickets.

Two Birthdays and Counting

We've celebrated your birthday together more than once now — and every single time, the banner goes up crooked and gets fixed anyway.

Kygo at the Wynn

Kygo, the Wynn & $40 Water

We paid actual currency for Fiji water at a rate that should be illegal, danced like it was owed to us, and considered it a fair trade.

Getting kicked out chaos

Banned From the Wynn, Kicked Out of a Chainsmokers Show

Different nights, same unmistakable energy. We regret nothing, and one of those venues genuinely still remembers us.

Outfit Chaos

Every trip needs at least one unhinged outfit change, tried on purely to see what would happen. It always, always happened.

The Glamour Hours

Velvet booths, old rotary phones as props, crystal curtains, and a skyline that never once made us feel like we needed to go home.

Stars Under the Patio

Back home, on my old apartment patio, looking up at the sky and talking about absolutely everything until the sun came up.

And Somehow, Still Us

Through every ridiculous chapter — this is still exactly who we are. Fittingly, there's an actual peacock involved.

A Message, Just For You

Happy Birthday, Liezl

Happy Birthday,
Liezl.

Here's to way too many more ridiculous chapters, Queen of Las Vegas.
