About Aimi’s Collectibles
Our Service Pledge To You:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• Accurate Product Descriptions
• Prompt Professional Service
• Socially Responsible Business Practices
• Item, Earth & People Friendly Packing
We authenticate & inspect each item so you and/or your gift recipient can enjoy both the its historical & aesthetic value. If we find any cracks, chips or other material issues, we mention them in the item's "CONDITION" description. Most vintage pieces and antiques have some wear and/or production variations, such as glaze pops, dimples, bubbles, straw marks, spots or smudges from hand painting, etc., so often we will only mention these if it/they are excessive or unusual.
About Us
~~~~~~~~
In Japanese, the female name "Aimi" consists of two Japanese characters. The first, "ai" means ‘one who loves’ ~ the second, "mi" means ‘beauty’ or ‘beautiful.’ In Japanese, the terms are not automatically combined to mean ‘lover of beauty’ ~ yet here they are. Here, the meaning is also expand—Aimi’s Collectibles is for all lovers of beauty.
