About High Desert Finds
High Desert Finds is a veteran-owned small business based in California’s High Desert region. We specialize in vintage and antique glassware, crystal, china, and collectibles, carefully sourced from thrift shops, estate sales, and private collections throughout Southern California.
How We Find Your Finds
Every piece in our shop is hand-selected. We spend our days searching through local thrift stores, estate sales, and secondhand shops looking for quality glassware and collectibles that deserve a second life at your table. We know what to look for, whether it’s a set of Cristal D’Arques stemware, a mid-century pressed glass relish tray, or a hard-to-find Mikasa crystal bowl. Each item is inspected, cleaned, and carefully packed before it ships to you.
Why Vintage?
There’s something special about glassware that’s stood the test of time. The craftsmanship in vintage crystal and pressed glass is hard to match today. Many of the brands and patterns we carry have been discontinued for decades, making each piece a unique find. Whether you’re replacing a broken glass from a set your grandmother had, starting a collection, or looking for an affordable way to set an elegant table, we’re here to help you find it.
A Note from the Owner
I’m a U.S. Air Force veteran who settled in the High Desert after my service. What started as a hobby of picking through thrift stores turned into a passion for finding beautiful vintage pieces and connecting them with people who appreciate them. Every item I list, I’d be proud to have on my own table. Thank you for supporting a small, independent business.
