This pair of antique Japanese Imari decorative plates originates from the 1900 period and is executed in Japanese Imari style. Each piece is formed from porcelain and finished with a hand-painted enamel glaze in a palette of cobalt blue, iron red, white, and gold. The decoration comprises intricate floral scrolls, birds, and detailed underglaze patterns across the scalloped, shell-shaped surface. The dishes stand 2.5 cm high, 13.5 cm wide, and 15.5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, these plates suit placement upon a sideboard top within an English Country House setting, adding classical ornamental detail to a surface. The traditional motifs and hand-painted finish provide visual interest when displayed individually or as a matching pair.

FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to hard-paste ceramic wares produced around Arita in the former Hizen Province of Japan, historically exported via the port of Imari. It is characterised by underglaze cobalt blue patterns complemented by overglaze iron-red and gilding in intricate floral or geometric designs.

Imari wares are crafted from kaolin ceramic clay fired at high temperatures to achieve a vitrified body. Decoration involves initial underglaze cobalt painting followed by secondary kiln firings to set overglaze enamel glazes.

Authentic pieces frequently display hand-painted variations in decoration, small firing irregularities or spur marks on the base, and characteristic colour tones in the cobalt and iron-red glazes consistent with historical kiln techniques.

These decorative ceramic dishes can be displayed on brass stands atop sideboards, arranged as wall-mounted decorative accents in dining spaces, or positioned on coffee tables as catchall trays.

Clean Imari porcelain by hand using warm water and a non-abrasive soap with a soft cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners, harsh sponges, or dishwashers to protect the delicate overglaze enamels.
