FAQs

Roof tiles featuring guardian figures during the Qing Dynasty were traditionally placed on imperial and religious structures to ward off evil spirits and protect the building. The specific glaze and sculptural quality often denoted the status and importance of the structure.

These pieces are typically fashioned from high-fired terracotta or earthenware, coated with a mineral-based coloured glaze such as celadon. The firing process required precise temperature control to achieve the characteristic vitreous finish and tonal variations.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating the age-consistent crazing in the glaze, the mineral composition of the clay body, tool marks from hand-modelling, and natural weathering or kiln faults that reflect historical manufacturing methods.

These sculptural objects function well as focal points on deep surfaces, bringing historical texture and cultural depth to modern spaces. They are frequently displayed on dedicated stands or sturdy shelves to highlight their craft.

Preservation requires keeping the pieces in a stable indoor climate away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Dusting should be done gently with a dry, soft brush, avoiding any chemical cleaners or water immersion that might damage the historical glaze.
