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.
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.
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.

Patented in 1813 by Miles Mason, ironstone is a durable vitreous ceramic developed in England as an alternative to imported porcelain. The Imari style features bold oriental botanical designs rendered in rich cobalt blue, iron red, and bright hand-gilded details.

These vessels were crafted from dense ironstone ceramic, featuring heavy molded forms with handles and pierced covers designed to release fragrance. Decorations combined underglaze cobalt blue transfer-printing or hand-painting with overglaze polychrome enamels and gold leaf highlights.

Authentic pieces from the early 19th century frequently display impressed or printed base marks such as Masons Patent Ironstone China. They are characterised by substantial physical weight, high detail in the relief molding, precise gilding, and slight bluish pooling in the glaze.

Place the piece as a focal point on a mantelpiece, console, or sideboard alongside neutral modern backdrop surfaces to highlight its bold palette. Its contrasting cobalt and rust hues complement dark wood, natural stone, and simplified modern cabinetry.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush around intricate pierced covers. Avoid soaking in water or using abrasive liquid cleansers, as moisture can penetrate hairline crazing and damage fragile overglaze gilding.
