FAQs

Antique carpet balls are solid ceramic, porcelain, or pottery spheres used to play indoor bowling games during the Victorian era when outdoor lawns were inaccessible.

They were typically fashioned from heavy earthenware, glazed stoneware, or porcelain, often featuring hand-painted, sponged, or transfer-printed surface patterns.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as crazing in the glaze, minor chips, wear consistent with indoor rolling, and manufacturing stilt marks on the base.

They are typically displayed grouped together in a wooden dough bowl, a glass apothecary jar, or arranged on a bookshelf to add textural interest and historic character.

Clean them gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or submersion in water to protect the aged glaze and fragile surface patterns.
