Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
A charming 18th century Imari lobed plate with dragon ornamentation. Beautifully painted with a vase and profusion of flowers surrounded by a double circle border.

The dynastic change and the instability of China in the mid-17th century created a gap in the porcelain market, which became increasingly international throughout the century. Arita developed into a prominent centre for porcelain due to its proximity to Izumiyama, an area rich in kaolin. Although the Arita kilns...

Rare and Large Japanese Porcelain Vase Makuzu Kozan
Located in Atlanta, GA
A striking blue and white vase from the studio of Japanese Potter Makuzu Kozan, also known as Miyagawa Kozan (1842–1916), one of the most established and collected ceramist from Meiji Period. Born as Miyagawa Toranosuke, Kozan established his pottery studio in Yokohama around 1870s and later became one of the appointed artist to the Japanese Imperial household. His work was exhibited in many international fairs that the Meiji government participated at the turn of the century and won many grand prizes. With an impressively large size, this vase was likely made and reserved as a presentation piece for one of the many expositions the studio participated in the early 20th century. It was decorated with underglaze cobalt blue using the novel technique developed by Kozan called Fuki-e (the blow painting), in order to achieve the striking dimensional literary landscape known as "Mountain and Water". Being one of the most creative ceramists, Kozan started experimenting with new chemical colors from the West in the format of his porcelain glaze around 1880s. New colors allowed him to create underglaze designs that appeared bright, smooth and glossy. He even invented his own receipt of cobalt blue to achieve a much brighter yet softer shade, as evident on this vase. To create landscape that is realistic and dimensional, more common in the western paintings, he was inspired by the native Japanese ink painting technique developed around 1900 by Yokoyama Taikan...

Hand Painted Porcelain Capo Di Monte Lamp of Bacchus, Italy, 19th Century, Italy
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
Italian porcelain hand painted traditional urn shape lamp by Capo Di Monte. Urn shape in form, the top is accented with two handles with swirls highly decorated in light pink, gold and yellow. The lamp widens at the bottom of the handles and tapers down to a wider body. The body of this decorative lamp features scenes of robed figures of men and women at a Bacchanalian feast. Decoration includes scenes of women draped in various color robes such as pink green and yellow. Bacchus is depicted as surrounded by women and sports a dark beard and floral crown. The top includes piercing throughout. The bottom of the porcelain portion of the lamp is decorated in a pink rope pattern around the edges. Just above, figures of light mint green leaves or petals are painted with gold hand painted edges. The base of the lamp is made up of a gold or brass metal with an ornate floral pattern. Inside appears to be iron or steel. The shape of the metal base is square in form with a pinched design at each side. Original harp included, however no shade. How we would style it: A rare piece such as this Capo Di Monte deserves to be seen. It reminds us of the Venetian home of Dodie Rosekrans. Filled with timeless classical pieces, each with their own story. This lovely lamp deserves a home of a true collector who has a deep appreciation for classical Italian art. We love the idea of this piece in a foyer with a small fringe lamp...

Antique and Vintage Porcelain Decorative Objects, Tableware, Dinner Plates and Other Furniture for Sale

While it is tempting to store your antique and vintage porcelain decorative objects and other items behind closed glass cabinet doors and reserve them only for display, your porcelain dinner plates and serving platters can safely weather the “dangers” of the dining room and be used during meals. So go ahead and dress up your dining table for a special meal with a range of porcelain tableware, platters and tea service from 1stDibs.

Porcelain, a durable and nonporous kind of pottery made from clay and stone, was first made in China and spread across the world owing to the trade routes to the Far East established by Dutch and Portuguese merchants. Given its origin, English speakers called porcelain “fine china,” an expression you still might hear today. "Fine" indeed — for over a thousand years, it has been a highly sought-after material.

Porcelain is not totally clumsy-guest-proof, but it is surprisingly durable and easy to clean. Its low permeability and hardness have rendered porcelain wares a staple in kitchens and dining rooms as well as a common material for bathroom sinks and dental veneers. 

Meissen Porcelain, one of the first factories to create real porcelain outside Asia, popularized figurine centerpieces during the 18th century in Germany, while works by Capodimonte, a porcelain factory in Italy, are synonymous with flowers and notoriously hard to come by. Elsewhere, Denmark’s Royal Copenhagen first made dinnerware and vases with blue-and-white motifs inspired by Chinese porcelain. Hungarian brand Herend favors large, bold designs for its porcelain, with its serving pieces, dishes and other works incorporating historical scenes, animals or vegetation. 

Modern porcelain houses such as Maison Fragile of Limoges, France — long a hub of private porcelain manufacturing — keep the city’s long tradition alive while collaborating with venturesome contemporary artists such as illustrator Jean-Michel Tixier.

Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is stronger than ceramic because it is denser. 

Find antique and vintage porcelain made in a variety of styles on 1stDibs.
