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.
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.
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.

Imari porcelain originates from the Arita region in Japan, taking its name from the export port of Imari. It is characterised by underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron red, gilding, and intricate floral or avian motifs.

These items are crafted from kaolin clay and fired at high temperatures to produce hard-paste porcelain. The multi-stage decoration involves applying underglaze cobalt blue before initial firing, followed by hand-painted enamel colours over the glaze in subsequent low-temperature firings.

Authentic pieces display characteristic palette combinations, hand-painted variations in brushwork, occasional spur marks on the base, and minor wear to overglaze enamels consistent with age. The underlying porcelain body often features slight kiln-related irregularities.

Imari vases function as structural focal points when arranged symmetrically on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table. The rich contrast of cobalt blue and rust red complements both dark timber antique furniture and contemporary neutral colour schemes.

Dust surfaces gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth to protect the overglaze enamel work. Avoid immersion in water, hot liquids, or abrasive chemical detergents, as these can cause surface deterioration or enamel loss.
