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

Designed in the Channel Islands during the nineteenth century, these distinctive bulbous copper vessels were used daily to transport fresh milk from local dairy farms.

These vessels were typically handcrafted from thick rolled copper sheets with brazed joinery, fitted with top handles, and often finished with brass crest medallions.

Authentic examples feature a characteristic round bulbous lower body, a lid with a top loop handle, brazed copper seams, and often an applied brass Channel Islands coat of arms.

This decorative metal vessel functions effectively as a rustic kitchen centrepiece, a container for dried floral arrangements on open shelving, or an accent piece on a sideboard.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and polish occasionally with a specialized metal cleaner to maintain the polished finish without damaging the copper or surrounding seams.
