FAQs

Bow porcelain refers to wares produced by the Bow porcelain factory in east London, active from the mid-eighteenth century and renowned for pioneering early soft-paste porcelain formulations in England.

Early English porcelain typically utilised soft-paste bodies composed of clay, glass frit, and bone ash, hand-painted with underglaze or overglaze enamel pigments.

Authentic pieces often exhibit typical eighteenth-century manufacturing flaws such as kiln grit, crazing, glaze pooling, and characteristic hand-painted polychrome enamel palettes inspired by Chinese export porcelain.

Antique ceramics can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on floating shelves, or used as standalone sculptural accents to introduce historical texture and colour into contemporary spaces.

Antique ceramics should be hand-washed gently in lukewarm water using mild detergent when necessary, avoiding dishwashers, harsh chemicals, and abrasive sponges to protect fragile glazes and pigments.
