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

Hirado porcelain is a fine, high-grade Japanese porcelain produced predominantly in the Nagasaki prefecture, renowned for its dense white body and detailed underglaze cobalt blue brushwork.

Craftsmen utilised fine porcelain clay sourced from local mineral deposits, shaping and decorating the unfired body with underglaze cobalt blue paint before applying a clear glaze and firing at high temperatures.

Authentic Hirado items typically feature extraordinarily fine brushwork, a pure white fine-grained clay body, smooth unglazed foot rims, and precise painted or sculpted detailing.

Position the vase on a mantelpiece, console table, or bookshelf to introduce pattern and historic craftsmanship alongside neutral modern furnishings.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and clean occasionally with lukewarm water and a mild non-abrasive liquid detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals or sudden temperature changes.
