What better way to bring a piece of Prague back home with you than finding a little treasure at a local antique store? we take a look the 5 best.

When it comes to anything vintage, there is a warm and winsome vibe about them that makes you want to step into that era and be able to study the way those people thought and learn what made them tick. There is a certain cute and quaint aspect to the vintage antique that makes you wonder what the artist was thinking when they were working on the piece and that too in an era, when even getting the bare necessities of life was a struggle. For instance, the very warm and winsome vintage tea cups can almost take you back to the era where women sat around sipping tea and chatting in a genteel manner which is in absolute contrast to today’s life. We are sure they too faced a lot of hardships but it was good that they had the tea ritual to give them breathing space.

Albeit you end up delving deep into mysterious urban secondhand shops and locating great garage sales instead of exploring ancient ruins in the middle of a jungle. In either case, you can end up walking away with the treasure of a lifetime. Or two or three, in fact.
