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

Founded in East London around 1747, the Bow porcelain factory was renowned for producing early soft-paste porcelain, frequently decorated with underglaze cobalt blue motifs inspired by imported Chinese porcelain.

Georgian soft-paste porcelain was typically formulated using bone ash, clay, and ground glass frit, which fired at lower temperatures than hard-paste porcelain and produced a distinct creamy body with a warm glaze.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic hand-painted underglaze blue brushwork, slight glaze irregularities, firing marks or spur marks on the underside, and age-appropriate wear to unglazed rims.

Antique blue and white serving dishes are commonly displayed on plate stands within dressers, mounted on gallery walls, or placed on sideboards as focal decorative trays.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using a mild detergent, avoiding harsh abrasives, immersion for extended periods, or rapid temperature changes that could cause crazing.
