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

These vessels were crafted using native crushed stone containing kaolin, creating a dense white porcelain body. The decorative motifs were applied by hand using cobalt oxide mineral pigment before being coated in a clear glaze and fired at high temperatures.

Authentic Edo period pieces often feature a slightly greyish or bluish hue to the white glaze, small imperfections or spur marks on the base from kiln supports, and variable cobalt tone depth caused by hand-application techniques.

A symmetrical pair of porcelain urns can be displayed on a dining room sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to establish visual balance. They function as striking focal points in both classic and contemporary minimalist interior schemes.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry brush. If washing is necessary, use lukewarm water with a mild pH-neutral detergent, avoiding chemical cleaners, abrasive pads, and sudden temperature shifts.

Arita porcelain refers to Japanese high-fired ceramic wares produced in the town of Arita, Hizen province, beginning in the early seventeenth century. Known for its cobalt blue underglaze painted on white kaolin porcelain, it became a major export commodity to Europe via the Dutch East India Company.
