FAQs

Antique porcelain should be washed exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using mild, non-abrasive soap, avoiding dishwashers, harsh chemicals, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to protect the fragile enamels and gold leaf.

Such items can be mounted on walls using specialized plate hangers as focal art pieces, or displayed vertically on open shelving to introduce historical texture and colour into a modern minimalist setting.

Authentic pieces typically feature the underglaze blue crossed swords mark, often accompanied by a star or asterisk during the Marcolini period, alongside hand-thrown weight variations and micro-imperfections in the glaze.

These pieces are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, involving intricate hand-piercing (reticulation) of the rim before firing, followed by detailed hand-painted overglaze enamel decoration and gilding.

The Marcolini period at the Meissen manufactory spans from 1774 to 1814, overseen by Count Camillo Marcolini, characterised by neo-classical influences, fine pastel palettes, and delicate gilt accents.
