FAQs

Qajar pottery refers to ceramic items made in Iran during the Qajar dynasty, which ruled from 1789 to 1925, known for its distinctive polychrome glazes and revival of traditional Persian motifs.

These pieces typically utilised a soft-paste fritware body, coated with an alkaline glaze, and were often hand-painted with cobalt blue, turquoise, manganese purple, and yellow pigments.

Authenticity is identified through characteristic crazing in the glaze, mineral deposits, hand-painted brushwork inconsistencies, and the specific chemical composition of the fritware body typical of 19th-century Persian kilns.

They work well as curated accent pieces on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or side tables, adding historical texture and a touch of global craftsmanship to contemporary or eclectic spaces.

Keep them out of direct sunlight, dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid using any liquid cleaners or immersion in water to protect the aged, fragile glaze and fritware body.
