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

Swatow ware, also known as Zhangzhou ware, refers to a category of late Ming and early Qing dynasty Chinese export ceramics produced primarily in Fujian province for regional and overseas trade markets.

These vessels were crafted from local kaolin clay and decorated using cobalt blue underglaze oxides or overglaze enamels before being fired in dragon kilns, resulting in distinctively heavy potting and sand-encrusted foot rims.

Authentic pieces typically feature coarse, sandy residues adhering to the unglazed foot rim, spontaneous freehand brushwork, minor firing imperfections, and an off-white or light greyish body glaze.

A historical blue and white ceramic vessel can serve as a focal centerpiece on a console table, sideboard, or open shelving, pairing well with natural wood finishes and minimalist backdrops.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild non-abrasive soap with a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or sudden temperature changes.
