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

A custard set typically comprises a fitted ceramic tray and multiple small lidded cups, designed during the 18th and 19th centuries for serving chilled egg-based desserts such as syllabub, custard, or cream.

These sets were predominantly manufactured from earthenware, ironstone, or porcelain, featuring underglaze transfer-printed designs in cobalt blue or other monochrome tones.

Authentic period examples display characteristic underglaze transfer seams, stippled or cross-hatched details, hand-finished scroll handles, and maker marks or impressed numbers on the undersides.

Display the entire set intact on a dining room sideboard, inside a glazed dresser, or use individual lidded pots on a tray as accent pieces for table settings.

Wash individual pieces gently by hand using warm water and mild liquid detergent, avoiding abrasive pads or dishwashers to protect the delicate glaze and transfer detail.
