FAQs

Imari porcelain is a traditional type of Japanese export porcelain produced in Arita and shipped from the port of Imari. Pieces from the Meiji period are characterised by intricate underglaze blue and overglaze iron-red and gilt ornamentation.

These pieces are crafted from high-fired porcelain clay, hand-painted with cobalt blue under the glaze, and subsequently detailed with iron-red enamel and gold leaf or pigment before a final firing.

Authentication involves examining the weight, porcelain translucency, iron-spurring marks on the base, brushwork quality, and characteristic colour palette comprising cobalt blue, iron-red, and gold accents.

An Imari jar functions effectively as a focal point on a credenza, mantelpiece, or bookshelf, introducing rich colour, pattern, and historical texture to modern minimalist or eclectic spaces.

Antique porcelain should be cleaned using a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid chemical cleaners or submersion in water, particularly for pieces featuring delicate overglaze enamels and gilding.
