It was listed by Steve Sly Japanese Works of Art. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Steve Sly Japanese Works of Art has dated this Japanese Imari Bowl to the 18th Century.
Originally fitted with a lid this large sized vessel would have been a very opulent decorative object for a European home, imported in varying sizes by Dutch traders in the late 17th early 18th centuries, this being one of the larger examples found. Now lacking its original lid it serves a functional use as a very decorative planter, delightful bands of cherry blossom ( prunus) as well as chrysanthemums and peonies encircle the entire diameter of the bowl, this native flora interspersed with a central gilt decorated blue band. A highly decorative increasingly rare survivor that is sure to brighten up any room of your choice.
