This pair of Japanese Arita blue and white porcelain chargers dates from the Meiji period. Each circular dish exhibits a hand-painted underglaze blue and white finish, featuring detailed carp swimming among dynamic wave motifs across the centre, enclosed by a dense floral border around the perimeter. The visible decoration also incorporates white cresting waves and contrasting dark grey and white shading on the fish scales. Measuring 7 cm high, 56 cm wide and 56 cm deep, these large decorative plates arrive as a matched pair. Positioned in a modern interior, the chargers suit placement above a sideboard in a dining room or living space, hung on a wall or displayed upright on plate stands to showcase the vibrant blue and white palette and intricate aquatic artwork. The robust porcelain construction provides a durable display element suited to traditional and English country house aesthetic schemes.

FAQs

Arita porcelain refers to Japanese ceramic wares made in and around the town of Arita in Saga Prefecture, known for originating Japans underglaze blue and white porcelain production during the seventeenth century.

These ceramics are crafted from crushed porcelain stone, decorated with cobalt oxide underglaze painting, and finished with a clear glaze before firing at high temperatures.

Authentic Meiji era pieces often feature hand-painted brushwork, naturalistic motifs such as aquatic life or flora, firing marks on the base, and unglazed foot rims.

Large decorative chargers can be mounted as feature wall art using plate hangers, displayed on stands atop sideboards, or arranged in a gallery wall display.

Clean decorative porcelain using lukewarm water with a mild soap and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, or submersion.
