FAQs

Imari ware is a type of Japanese export porcelain traditionally produced in the town of Arita, taking its name from the port of Imari from which the pieces were shipped to Europe beginning in the 17th century.

Imari pieces are crafted from high-fired porcelain clay, characteristically decorated underglaze in cobalt blue and overglaze in iron red, accented with metallic gold details.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-painted motifs with slight variations, dense iron-red and cobalt-blue pigments, fine crazing, and signs of age such as wear on the base ring.

An Imari jar serves as a striking focal point when displayed on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or open bookshelf, adding rich colour and historical texture to both traditional and modern rooms.

Antique porcelain should be cleaned gently using a soft, dry cloth or washed by hand in lukewarm water with mild soap when necessary, avoiding abrasive materials and harsh chemicals.
