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

These compact vessels were produced in Qing dynasty China to store opium or medicinal extracts, frequently fitted with protective metal mounts and handles for portability.

They were typically crafted from hard-paste porcelain decorated with underglaze cobalt blue painting, paired with hand-forged bronze, brass, or iron mounts, stoppers, and security chains.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-painted underglaze blue decoration with natural brushstroke variations, glaze imperfections, base wear, and age-appropriate oxidisation on metal fittings.

Displaying small antique porcelain pieces alongside contemporary books or minimalist decorative objects on shelves or mantlepieces provides an intriguing tactile accent.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion or chemical solvents that could cause corrosion or oxidisation to the metal elements.
