FAQs

Imari porcelain originates from the town of Arita in the Hizen province of Japan, heavily exported to Europe from the port of Imari during the Edo period, renowned for its distinctive palette.

Imari pieces are crafted from fine kaolin clay, fired at high temperatures, and hand-painted using a distinct underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron red, gold, and accent colours.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-painted brushwork with slight irregularities, traditional mineral pigments showing age-appropriate wear, and often unglazed foot rims revealing the underlying porcelain body.

Position the piece as a focal point on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or console table, allowing its vibrant colour palette to contrast against neutral backgrounds.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaners, water immersion, or abrasive materials to protect the delicate overglaze enamel and gilding.
