Set of three twin-handled lidded vases with intense and complex colourful ‘Chinoiserie’ decoration , featuring multiple fantastical and mythical kylins and ‘lion-dogs’ amongst flowerhead surroundings. The pagoda-style shaped domed lid covers with gilded lion-dog surmounts , and having correspondingly decorated interior covers with lion-dog mounts .

The shaped and facetted bulbous bodies each with shaped handles to the sides . The underside of the vases each with an apocryphal ‘faux Chinese’ blue reign seal-mark and an iron-red factory pattern number of 537.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Patented in England in 1813 by Charles James Mason, ironstone china was developed as a durable alternative to imported Chinese porcelain, frequently featuring oriental and Chinoiserie patterns designed for decorative mantel displays.

Ironstone china was composed of slag, flint, feldspar, and clay, producing a dense, heavy earthenware body decorated with transfer prints, hand-applied enamels, and gilt embellishments.

Authentic pieces typically bear impressed or printed makers marks on the base, such as Masons Patent Ironstone China, accompanied by heavy build weight and transfer decoration with hand-painted enamel overlays.

A three-piece garniture set can be arranged symmetrically along a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to create balanced visual weight within a contemporary or classic room setting.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could wear away overglaze enamels or delicate gilding.
