How do I display an antique oriental porcelain set?

Garnitures and matched vase sets look best arranged symmetrically on sturdy mantelpieces, sideboards, or dedicated display cabinets where their colours catch the light. Ensure pieces are placed away from heavy traffic areas to prevent accidental knocks. For plate collections and tea services, use proper plate hangers or enclosed shelving to protect the delicate porcelain bodies and hand-painted enamel surfaces from dust and damage.

Can I use my antique tea service?

While these antique tea services were originally made for functional use, modern dishwashers and harsh detergents will quickly ruin fragile enamels and historic gilding. Hand washing in lukewarm water with mild soap is necessary if you choose to use them. Given their age and historical value, most collectors prefer to keep antique porcelain sets strictly for display rather than everyday dining or beverage service.

What is the difference between Imari and Satsuma?

Imari pieces are hard-paste porcelain decorated in vibrant underglaze blues, iron reds, and gold leaf, resulting in a durable and colourful finish. They were produced primarily for export in large quantities during the Japanese periods. Satsuma ware utilises a cream-coloured earthenware body covered in a fine network of transparent crackle glaze, then painted meticulously with dense floral or figural enamel scenes.
