FAQs

Kraak porcelain is a type of Chinese export porcelain produced mainly during the late Ming dynasty, specifically in the Wanli period, characterised by its distinctive panelled border design and underglaze blue decoration.

These pieces were crafted from high-fired kaolin clay and petuntse, painted with cobalt oxide pigment underneath a clear glaze, and fired in large wood-burning kilns at high temperatures.

Authenticity is typically determined by examining the body characteristics, such as the presence of fine kiln grit on the base, characteristic fritting along the unglazed rim, brushwork style, and the cobalt tone.

An antique charger can be mounted securely on a wall using specialized display hangers as a focal point, or exhibited flat on a sturdy surface within a dedicated plate stand.

Antique porcelain should be kept away from direct sunlight, cleaned only with a dry or lightly dampened soft cloth when necessary, and handled as little as possible to prevent accidental damage.
