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

Mid-20th-century Japanese studio porcelain often combines traditional techniques like underglaze painting with modern geometric or minimalist aesthetics, frequently influenced by designated Living National Treasures.

These pieces are crafted from high-fired kaolin-rich white porcelain clay, shaped manually or moulded with square profiles, and hand-painted with mineral pigments before receiving a clear glossy glaze.

Authenticity is typically verified through artist signatures or seal marks incised or painted on the base, stylistic consistency with documented works, and the quality of the glaze and brushwork.

Display them as sculptural centrepieces on a minimalist sideboard or mantelpiece, allowing their clean lines and hand-painted motifs to stand out against neutral backgrounds.

Clean them gently using a soft, dry cloth or lukewarm water with mild soap if necessary, avoiding harsh abrasives and direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight.
