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

Frog mugs, also known as surprise mugs, originated in late 18th-century Britain as novelty drinking vessels containing a sculpted ceramic amphibian inside designed to startle the drinker as liquid was consumed.

These pieces were typically crafted from earthenware or creamware, decorated using copper-plate transfer prints under a clear lead glaze alongside hand-moulded ceramic figures attached to the interior.

Authentic period examples exhibit fine glaze crazing, distinct joins where the internal figure meets the wall, three-point stilt marks on the base, and characteristic transfer alignment seams.

Display the vessel open-faced on a curated bookshelf, mantelpiece, or glazed cabinet as a historical curiosity alongside period ceramics and glassware.

Wash gently by hand using mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth, avoiding prolonged soaking or abrasive materials that could compromise the glaze and earthenware body.
