FAQs

Authentication involves examining craquelure patterns, glaze pooling, pigment saturation, and base characteristics. Testing for age-related wear, kiln marks, and mineral deposits helps specialists determine the correct period of manufacture.

Place these sculptural pieces on prominent display surfaces such as a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table to add a touch of historic colour and character to contemporary living spaces.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, soaking, or exposing the pieces to extreme temperature fluctuations to protect the delicate antique glaze.

These figures are crafted from fine porcelain or earthenware, hand-moulded or slip-cast, and then finished with lead-silicate based glazes that naturally run and intermingle during the high-temperature firing process.

Sancai is a traditional three-colour glaze technique most famously used in Chinese pottery during the Tang Dynasty, though revival and continuation pieces were produced in later eras such as the Qing Dynasty. The palette typically comprises amber-yellow, green, and white or off-white tones.
