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 large creamware jug dates from the early nineteenth century and belongs to the Georgian style. Made from creamware and earthenware, the vessel wears a glossy white glaze finished with hand painted polychrome flower sprays, transfer printed crests and mottos for the Independent Order of Oddfellows, and pale blue line decoration along the rims and handle. Details visible on the body include a loop handle on the right side, a shell lug positioned on the left, a flared spout at the top, and a stepped round foot at the base. The piece measures 27 cm high. In a contemporary home, this decorative earthenware vessel sits well on a sideboard top in a dining room, kitchen, or living room, where it functions as a visual display object. It brings a traditional English country house aesthetic to an interior space, harmonising with classic or rustic interior schemes through its traditional ceramic construction and colourful painted floral motifs.

FAQs

Oddfellows creamware refers to lead-glazed earthenware produced in 18th and 19th-century Britain, decorated with heraldic symbols and crests representing the Independent Order of Odd Fellows friendly society.

Creamware was crafted using refined white clay mixed with calcined flint, coated in a clear lead glaze that produced its characteristic cream tone, and decorated with transfer printing or hand-painted enamel colours.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit a light body weight relative to size, subtle yellow or greenish pooling of lead glaze in crevices, slight crazing, and hand-applied enamel highlights over transfer prints.

A large creamware jug serves as a focal point on a sideboard, dresser, or kitchen island, displayed either on its own as fine ceramic art or filled with dried floral arrangements.

Clean gently by hand using warm water and a mild non-abrasive detergent, taking care not to submerge porous unglazed foot rings or expose painted enamels to harsh chemical cleaners.
