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 frog mug, also known as a surprise mug, is a novelty drinking vessel originating in 18th-century England, featuring a moulded amphibian figure inside designed to reveal itself as the liquid level drops.

These ceramics were crafted from earthenware, fired, and decorated using copperplate engravings transferred onto paper, pressed onto the pottery before glazing, and finished with hand-moulded elements like internal figures or handles.

Authentic Victorian pieces typically exhibit lead-glaze crazing, hand-applied ceramic frogs with hand-painted details, heavy visual weight, soft foot rim wear, and characteristic transfer printing alignment shifts common to 19th-century production.

Display the item on an open Welsh dresser, mantelpiece, or bookshelf alongside complementary blue and white pottery, or utilise it as a decorative vessel on a desk or side table.

Hand wash gently using warm water and mild soap, avoiding immersion for extended periods, abrasives, or dishwashers, as these can damage the glaze and internal moulded detailing.
