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

An Italian majolica wet drug jug is a tin-glazed earthenware vessel designed specifically to store liquid medicinal preparations, such as syrups, oils, and herbal decoctions, in historic apothecaries.

These vessels are constructed from fired earthenware clay, dipped in an opaque lead glaze containing tin oxide, and decorated with metallic oxide pigments before undergoing a final kiln firing.

Authentic period jars feature hand-painted cobalt or polychrome decoration, abbreviated Latin pharmaceutical inscriptions, characteristic glaze pinholes or minor rim flaking, and authentic base wear patterns.

An apothecary jar works well as a sculptural accent on a library bookshelf, mantelpiece, or console table alongside architectural items, leather-bound volumes, or framed prints.

Preserve tin-glazed ceramics by dusting lightly with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth; avoid water immersion, abrasives, or chemical detergents that could compromise delicate glaze fractures.
