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.

This Japanese Meiji period Fukagawa porcelain lidded vase displays hand painted decoration on a white body. The bulbous body and domed cover feature white cranes, blue and gold irises, reeds, and scrolling foliage borders, all finished with a glossy glaze. A distinct onion-shaped bud finial tops the lid, complementing the cobalt oxide and enamel palette used across the piece. The glazed surface shows delicate textural detailing in the background weave pattern behind the birds. Measuring 64 cm high, 34 cm wide, and 34 cm deep, the jar sits steadily on a flat foot ring. In a contemporary home, this lidded vessel suits placement on a sideboard top, entryway console, or prominent display shelf. The traditional motifs bring classical Japanese design elements into an English Country House interior scheme, adding colour and pattern to a reception room or study. The covered form works well as a standalone decorative accent or paired alongside other Oriental ceramics on a large wooden cabinet.

FAQs

Fukagawa porcelain originated in the Arita region of Japan during the Meiji period, recognised for translucent white ceramic bodies, underglaze cobalt blue decoration, and naturalistic motifs.

These pieces were crafted from kaolin clay, painted with cobalt oxide underglaze before receiving a clear protective glaze firing, sometimes augmented with overglaze enamels or gilding.

Authentic items typically feature maker marks on the base, such as the Mount Fuji and stream emblem, along with precise hand-painted line work and fine ceramic quality.

Position the piece as a focal accent on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or within a curated shelf display to introduce pattern and historic texture.

Dust gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or soft camel hair brush, avoiding liquid immersion or chemical cleaners that could affect delicate overglaze details.
