FAQs

Meiji period porcelain refers to ceramic items produced in Japan during the reign of Emperor Meiji from 1868 to 1912, characterised by a blend of traditional Japanese motifs and Western-influenced decorative techniques aimed at the export market.

These pieces are crafted from high-fired kaolin-based porcelain clay, featuring hand-thrown bodies, underglaze cobalt blue painting, overglaze enamels, and often fine gilt detailing applied by skilled artisans.

Authenticity is typically determined by examining the paste body, glaze characteristics, hand-painted brushwork details, and manufacturer base marks, such as the Mount Fuji and Koransha or Fukagawa signatures.

Antique porcelain adds a layer of global history and refined colour to contemporary spaces when displayed prominently on console tables, open shelving, or as focal points on mantelpieces.

Preserve antique porcelain by dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, keeping them away from direct sunlight, and ensuring they are placed on stable, secure surfaces away from high-traffic areas.
