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

Manufactured during the mid-18th century, these small vessels were designed for serving melted butter at dining tables and typically featured organic leaf-moulded forms with underglaze blue floral patterns.

They were crafted from soft-paste porcelain containing soapstone, which provided thermal shock resistance against hot liquids, and decorated with cobalt oxide underglaze painting.

Authentic pieces often display a greenish translucency when held to direct light, crisp relief moulding, and hand-painted underglaze blue painter marks or open crescent marks on the base.

These small decorative items can be displayed inside glazed china cabinets, arranged as part of a blue and white collection on a sideboard top, or placed on deep window sills.

Clean gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding abrasive sponges or modern dishwashers that could damage soft-paste glazes and delicate foot rims.
