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.

These two Chinese Qing Dynasty porcelain lidded jars date from the 17th Century Kangxi period, circa 1690. Each ovoid vessel displays hand-painted cobalt blue floral and tree panel scenes across its body, set against a white glaze background and finished with a moulded ringed foot and a short stout neck. One jar includes a matching domed lid topped with a turned finial, while the other features a slightly different lid with a tapered finial and dark discoloration. Collectors will note long lines on both bodies alongside an old collectors label affixed to one surface. Measuring 17 cm high, 9 cm wide, and 9 cm deep, these pieces bring period character to an interior. They sit well atop a sideboard top in a dining room, living area, or hallway to display classical blue and white porcelain craftsmanship within an English Country House setting.

FAQs

Kangxi period porcelain refers to ceramics produced during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (16621722) in China. This era is renowned for its high-quality white porcelain and vibrant cobalt blue underglaze decoration featuring precise brushwork and refined botanical or landscape motifs.

These jars were made using natural kaolin clay combined with petuntse (porcelain stone), fired at extremely high temperatures to create a hard-paste porcelain. The decoration was applied using natural cobalt oxide before firing with a clear glaze.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit a clear, bright blue tone often referred to as sapphire blue, a smooth white body without heavy imperfections, and precise underglaze painting. Glaze characteristics include a subtle blue-tinted white sheen and smooth foot rims.

A pair of covered jars can be styled symmetrically on a dining room sideboard, a fireplace mantelpiece, or within open shelving. Their classical form balances structured modern furniture while adding colour and pattern.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth. For cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild wash liquid, avoiding harsh abrasive chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or prolonged soaking, especially near existing repairs.
