How do I hang a heavy charger safely?

Large chargers and heavy ironstone plates require specialist spring-loaded brass wall hangers that distribute the weight evenly across the rim. Ensure the fixing is secured firmly into a wall stud or uses an appropriate wall anchor. Avoid wire or adhesive disk attachments on antique earthenware, as the glaze and ceramic body can fracture under sustained tension over time.

Were these plates made for dining?

Many items listed as cabinet plates or dishes were intended primarily for display in dining rooms or parlours. Substantial chargers served decorative functions on sideboards or walls rather than carrying food. Some porcelain and stoneware services saw active use at the table, while delicate enamelled or gilt surfaces were strictly ornamental.

How do I distinguish Imari from Satsuma?

Imari wares use a hard porcelain or ceramic body decorated with a distinctive palette of dark underglaze blue, rust red, and gold. The designs often feature geometric panels and floral arrangements. Satsuma pieces utilise a cream-coloured earthenware body covered with a fine network of crackle glaze, typically painted with detailed human figures, birds, and raised enamels.
