My Mission @ I Heart Objects
At I Heart Objects, we believe in the beauty and significance of antique porcelain and vintage collectibles. Our mission is to educate, inspire, and connect collectors to enhance their passion.
Some objects carry more than form.
They carry time, intention, and the quiet marks of the hands that made them.
I Heart Objects began from a simple habit: turning pieces over, looking closely at the underside of porcelain, tracing makers’ marks, and wondering where an object began long before it reached a flea market table.
What started as curiosity became study.
And study became collecting with intention.
This is not a space for trends or fast finds.
It is a place for:
• Understanding porcelain marks
• Exploring European ceramics
• Discovering the history behind vintage objects
• Reflecting on what makes certain pieces worth keeping
Based in Belgium, I approach collecting through a European lens — from flea markets and antique shops to archives and reference books.
Some objects become part of my own collection.
Some are made available in the shop.
All are chosen for their craftsmanship, character, and story.
I believe collecting well is not about acquiring more.
It is about seeing more clearly.
Welcome to I Heart Objects.
Meet Stefi
I am drawn to objects that ask to be examined — pieces that reveal something new when turned over or held in better light.
Much of my time is spent researching marks, tracing origins, and understanding how a simple everyday item came to exist.
I am not interested in collecting for display alone.
I am interested in context — in the makers, the materials, and the quiet decisions that shaped each piece.
I Heart Objects is where I share that process.
Welcome.
