FAQs

Ceramic garden seats have been used in China for over a thousand years, originally serving as practical outdoor seating in imperial gardens before evolving into decorative interior objects.

These items are traditionally shaped from heavy-duty clay, fired at high temperatures, and hand-finished with coloured lead glazes such as green, amber, and blue.

Authenticity is typically assessed through examination of the glaze characteristics, crazing patterns, weight, base construction, and signs of age-related wear and tear.

This piece works well as a sculptural side table next to a sofa or as an accent stand for indoor plants, adding colour and global texture to contemporary spaces.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical abrasives, and protect the piece from freezing temperatures if kept outdoors.
