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.

FAQs

Blue and white porcelain was developed in China, reaching significant technical refinement during the Ming and Qing dynasties through the use of cobalt ore painted directly onto fine clay prior to glazing.

These vases are thrown from kaolin clay, painted by hand with cobalt oxide pigment, covered in a clear feldspathic glaze, and fired at high temperatures in a kiln.

Identification relies on evaluating brushwork precision, cobalt pigment depth, glaze texture, wear on the unglazed foot ring, and the stylistic accuracy of reign marks.

A bottle vase is commonly positioned on a sideboard, console, or mantelpiece to provide pattern contrast against neutral walls or timber surfaces.

Clean the ceramic surface gently with a soft cloth dampened in warm water and mild dish soap, avoiding abrasive sponges or chemical cleansers.
