How do I care for antique porcelain lamps?

Dust porcelain surfaces gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might damage delicate overglaze enamels or gold leaf. Check electrical wiring periodically if the pieces have been converted into lamps, ensuring professional maintenance for vintage fittings.

Can I separate a matched pair?

Splitting a matched set diminishes the historical and decorative value of the objects, as they were conceived and fired together for symmetrical display. Keeping both items united preserves their provenance and visual balance within a room.

What is the difference between Canton and Rose Medallion?

Rose Medallion is a specific subset of Canton porcelain defined by four distinct panels radiating around a central medallion, typically filled with figures, birds, and butterflies. Broader Canton wares include various panel layouts and overall pictorial designs without the strict medallion geometry.

How do I distinguish eighteenth from nineteenth-century pieces?

Eighteenth-century examples often exhibit finer, thinner potting and subtler enamel palettes associated with the Kangxi and Qianlong reigns. Nineteenth-century production tends toward heavier bodies, denser crowding of motifs, and brighter export colours. Examining base characteristics and foot rims provides additional clues regarding the period of manufacture.
