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.
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.
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.

Creamware was developed in Staffordshire, England, during the mid-18th century as a refined alternative to porcelain. The lightweight, cream-coloured lead-glazed earthenware became widely adopted for complete dessert and dinner services across European households.

Creamware is constructed from white clay mixed with flint, fired to a hard body, and coated with a fluid lead glaze. Pieces often feature hand-painted enamel decoration, press-moulded relief details, or pierced reticulation around the rims.

Authentic early creamware displays a light body weight and a yellowish or slightly greenish tint where the translucent glaze pools in crevices. Look for hand-painted enamel details, light surface wear consistent with age, and impressed maker marks or pattern numbers on the undersides.

A complete service can be arranged inside a glazed cabinet or dresser, mounted onto a wall with wire plate hangers as a graphic installation, or styled across a dining table or sideboard top for visual interest.

Clean creamware by hand using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding chemical detergents or abrasive sponges. Store plates flat with felt or cotton spacers between each piece to protect delicate enamel paintings and reticulated borders.
