How do I clean antique porcelain decor?

Dust these items gently with a soft dry brush to remove surface particles without disturbing delicate enamel or gilt details. Avoid immersing pieces in water, particularly those with overglaze enamels, lacquer additions, or metal mounts, as moisture can cause permanent damage.

Where should I display these decorative objects?

Place vases and figures on stable mantelpieces, sideboards, or within enclosed cabinets where they receive indirect natural light. Keeping them away from direct heat sources protects the old glazes and painted surfaces from thermal stress. Ensure larger statement pieces sit on secure surfaces out of the way of daily foot traffic to prevent accidental knocks.

How can I tell Japanese Imari from other styles?

Look for the characteristic combination of cobalt blue underglaze, iron red enamel, and abundant gold leaf detailing across plates, bowls, and vases. The motifs often feature intricate floral arrangements, exotic birds, and panelled geometric borders. Nineteenth-century examples frequently display dense composition and a heavier ceramic body compared to earlier export wares.

What is the difference between earthenware and porcelain?

Porcelain is fired at much higher temperatures, resulting in a vitrified, non-porous body that often rings when struck and can appear translucent under strong light. Earthenware is more porous and opaque, requiring an applied glaze to become watertight. Items described as earthenware or pottery tend to have a heavier, softer feel than hard-paste porcelain pieces.
