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

Gaudy Welsh pottery refers to hand-painted earthenware produced primarily in South Wales and Staffordshire between the 1820s and 1890s, characterised by bold floral or geometric patterns in cobalt blue, rust red, green, and copper lustre.

These items were manufactured from lead-glazed earthenware or ironstone, featuring underglaze cobalt blue painting complemented by overglaze polychrome enamels and metallic copper lustre accents.

Authentic pieces feature visible hand-painted variations, traditional pattern names such as Celyn or Grape, light glaze crazing consistent with age, and metallic copper lustre that exhibits natural oxidisation over time.

A large antique ceramic basin functions effectively as a decorative centrepiece on a dining table or sideboard, a fruit bowl on a kitchen island, or fitted as a vessel sink in a powder room vanity.

Wash gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive pads, chemical cleaners, or dishwashers that can strip delicate overglaze enamels and metallic lustre detailing.
