FAQs

In traditional Chinese architecture, ridge tiles and roof figures such as the phoenix were placed on imperial and religious buildings to signify high status, good fortune, and protection against fire and evil spirits.

These items are typically crafted from moulded terracotta or earthenware, finished with a traditional celadon glaze that produces a characteristic pale green to grey-green vitreous coating upon firing.

Authenticity is determined by examining the body paste, crackle patterns in the glaze, firing imperfections, and natural weathering or mortar remnants consistent with exposure to the elements on historical structures.

These sculptural objects can be displayed on mantelpieces, consoles, or dedicated plinths as focal points, allowing their historical texture and form to complement contemporary or eclectic minimalist spaces.

Preservation requires keeping the pieces in a stable indoor climate away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight, dusting them gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoiding chemical cleaners that could harm the fragile glaze.
