FAQs

Antique porcelain should be washed by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap when necessary, avoiding abrasive materials, dishwashers, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to protect the gilding and enamels.

Antique porcelain can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on architectural mantelpieces, or styled on dedicated tables to add historical contrast and refined detail to modern spaces.

Authentic pieces typically feature the underglaze blue crossed swords mark on the base, alongside impressed model numbers and painters numerals, coupled with high-translucency paste and meticulous hand-painting.

These pieces are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, fired at high temperatures, and hand-decorated with mineral-based polychrome enamels and burnished gold leaf.

Meissen porcelain from the 19th century often incorporates neoclassical influences, intricate hand-painted scenes, and heavy gilding, reflecting the artistic shifts of the period following its eighteenth-century origins.
