How do I hang an antique wall dish safely?

Most antique decorative wall dishes require a coated spring-clip hanger that grips the rim without applying excessive pressure to the ceramic body. Ensure the wall fixing is anchored securely into a stud or uses a proper wall plug. Avoid adhesive discs attached directly to the base of older earthenware or porcelain, as the weight can cause the glaze or body to fail over time.

Can these plates be used for serving food?

Antique decorative pieces are generally unsuited for modern culinary use due to the fragility of their glazes and potential lead content in older enamels. Many cabinet plates and chargers also feature painted details or gilt work that will wear away with washing. Enjoy them strictly as wall art or display cabinet centerpieces to preserve their historical surfaces.

How do I tell Japanese Imari from European copies?

Japanese Imari porcelain typically exhibits a slightly gritty unglazed footrim, distinct spur marks from kiln supports, and a heavy, resonant body. European imitations often show smoother porcelain bodies with more uniform transfer-printed outlines beneath the hand-applied colours. Examine the palette closely for the characteristic deep cobalt blue combined with iron red and sparing gold leaf typical of Meiji and Edo production.
