About Us
Welcome to Max & Essie
Hi there! We're so glad you found us. Max & Essie is a small, passion-driven shop nestled in Knoxville, Tennessee, built by collectors, for collectors.
Our Story
Like so many of you, our love affair with Rae Dunn started with a single piece — that perfect mug with just the right word on it. One piece became two, two became a shelf, and before long, the hunt was on. We were hooked.
Max & Essie was born from that same joy of the find. We started this shop because we wanted to share the pieces we love with a community that gets it — people who understand why you'll drive across town for a rare holiday piece, or why a perfectly lettered canister can make your whole kitchen feel complete.
What We Carry
We specialize in Rae Dunn collectibles and Johanna Parker collectibles — from everyday staples to hard-to-find seasonal pieces. Every item in our shop is hand-selected with care. We look for quality, condition, and that special something that makes a piece worth adding to your collection.
How to Follow Us
We are also on Facebook! We conduct a Live sale most every Monday at 7PM EST as well as other promotions! Be sure to see our pinned post regarding how live sales work. It's meant to be a fun night with a very fun group we have!

A Note from Us
We're collectors at heart, just like you. We believe in the magic of finding that piece you've been searching for, and we love being part of that moment for our customers. Thank you for supporting our small shop — it truly means the world to us.
Happy hunting! 🤍
