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.

Arita porcelain originated in the early seventeenth century in the town of Arita on the island of Kyushu, Japan, following the discovery of kaolin clay. Production expanded rapidly, with pieces exported to Europe via the Dutch East India Company throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Arita wares are constructed from crushed porcelain stone rich in kaolin, fired at high temperatures to achieve a dense, white body. Decoration consists of cobalt oxide applied under the glaze, often combined with polychrome iron-red and gilded overglaze enamels.

Authentic eighteenth-century examples exhibit characteristics such as spur marks on the base from kiln firing, minor surface firing imperfections, soft-toned underglaze cobalt blues, and signs of gentle age-related rubbing on the raised overglaze enamels.

Pairing a highly patterned ceramic lamp base with neutral furniture creates a balanced focal point in modern rooms. Placing the lamp on a minimalist wooden sideboard or console table allows the complex hand-painted motifs to stand out without visual clutter.

Dust the porcelain base regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or a soft brush, avoiding chemical cleaners that may strip overglaze enamel or gilding. For safety, ensure electrical components are disconnected before cleaning, and dust the fabric shade gently with a vacuum brush attachment.
