FAQs

Chinese export porcelain refers to ceramic wares manufactured in China specifically for export to European and American markets, primarily during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

These pieces are typically crafted from petuntse and kaolin clay, fired at high temperatures, and hand-painted using underglaze blue and overglaze enamel colours such as the famille rose or famille verte palettes.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic craquelure in the glaze, hand-painted brushwork nuances, wear consistent with age on the base, and specific paste composition typical of the period of manufacture.

These items work well as focal points on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or sideboards, contrasting against minimalist backdrops to highlight their historical craftsmanship and decorative detail.

Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth or lukewarm water with mild soap if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, and direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight.
