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

Eighteenth-century Brussels faience is distinguished by its opaque white tin glaze applied over low-fired earthenware, providing a smooth canvas for colourful enamel decoration. Production during this era included refined tablewares and ornamental vessels featuring moulded details and hand-painted botanical motifs.

Tin-glazed earthenware was created by dipping fired clay vessels into a glaze containing tin oxide, producing an opaque white surface. Artisans painted designs directly onto the unfired or biscuit-fired glaze using metallic oxides before a final firing fused the materials.

Authentic pieces display age-appropriate wear to unglazed areas such as the foot rim, minor glaze chipping characteristic of soft tin glazes, and evidence of hand-moulding or hand-throwing. Examining paint application techniques and glaze texture helps verify period origin.

A ceramic jug functions well as a standalone decorative piece on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or within open shelving. Displaying historical ceramics alongside simple contemporary forms creates a balanced visual contrast.

Cleaning requires dusting with a soft brush or wiping gently with a damp cloth using lukewarm water and neutral soap, avoiding full immersion. Abrasive materials and sudden temperature shifts should be avoided to protect the tin glaze from crazing.
