FAQs

Drabware is a type of stoneware or earthenware characterised by its muted, brownish-grey body, famously produced by Josiah Wedgwood and other Staffordshire potteries primarily from the late 18th century through the 19th century, with revival styles continuing into the early 20th century.

Lustreware is crafted from ceramic earthenware or stoneware, featuring a metallic glaze application that produces an iridescent sheen. This metallic film is achieved through a specialised reduction firing process using metals such as copper, silver, or gold.

Authentic pieces typically feature impressed factory marks, specific pattern numbers, or cipher stamps on the underside. Examination under magnification reveals period-appropriate potting techniques, glaze crazing, and characteristic wear patterns consistent with age.

Antique plates can be displayed as wall art using plate hangers to add texture and historical contrast to contemporary walls, or styled on open shelving and sideboard tops to introduce layered heritage character.

Antique ceramics should be washed by hand using mild, non-ionic detergents and lukewarm water, avoiding prolonged soaking or abrasive scrubbers. They should be stored securely in stable environments away from direct sunlight and drastic temperature fluctuations.
