FAQs

An Imari dessert service comprises matching plates and serving dishes decorated in the traditional Japanese-inspired Imari style, which typically features a palette of cobalt blue, iron red, and gilt highlights.

Pieces from this era were generally crafted from soft-paste or bone china, shaped using moulds or thrown on wheels, then hand-painted with underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze enamel colours before being finished with hand-applied gilding.

Authentic pieces often feature characteristic potting flaws, hand-wrought brushwork, crazing in the glaze, and occasionally faint factory marks or pattern numbers painted on the underside.

These decorative services can be displayed upright in plate racks, mounted securely on walls, or utilised selectively on dining tables to introduce historical pattern, colour, and texture.

Antique porcelain should be washed gently by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding soaking or abrasive materials, and dried thoroughly with a soft cloth to protect the delicate gilding and enamel.
