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

Historically used across Mediterranean regions for storing and transporting olive oil or wine, these unglazed earthenware vessels feature robust rims and sturdy shoulder handles to endure utilitarian trade.

They were built up by hand or thrown on a wheel using local earthenware clay, fired at low temperatures, and detailed with applied loop handles and incised shoulder lines before setting.

Authentic examples display natural surface weathering, mineral deposits, lichen growth, subtle hand-potting ridge lines, and irregular tones rather than modern uniform glazes or factory seams.

Positioned as a standalone sculptural accent in an entry alcove, paired with dried branches, or integrated into a sunroom or courtyard garden alongside lush foliage.

Protect the earthenware vessel from extreme winter frost by repositioning it under shelter, ensuring proper base ventilation to avoid moisture retention and surface spalling.
