How do I care for blue delft vases?

Dust these ceramic pieces gently with a dry, soft cloth to protect the tin glaze and painted surfaces from abrasion. Keep them away from direct moisture and avoid chemical cleaners that might harm the historical glaze.

Are these vases watertight?

Historical tin-glazed earthenware can be porous and may allow moisture to seep through the ceramic body over time. Display them dry or utilise a hidden inner vessel if you plan to hold fresh flowers.

How do I identify eighteenth-century examples?

Look for characteristic potting weight, tin-glaze characteristics and hand-painted cobalt or manganese decoration typical of the period. Compare the forms against established baluster, lidded jar and urn profiles documented from the era.

Can I use converted lamp vases safely?

Many historical pieces were fitted for electricity during the twentieth century to serve as functional table lighting in homes. Have any older wiring checked by a qualified professional before connecting it to a power supply.
