This is a large antique Imari fruit display plate from the late Victorian period, dating around 1900. The Japanese decorative ceramic serving platter exhibits a classic Imari palette of vivid cobalt blue and iron-red hues, complemented by intricate gilt highlights across its surface. The design incorporates a central foliate medallion within an ornate concentric pattern border, surrounded by cloud-form panels on the outer rim featuring Oriental natural scenes with birds and floral reserves, all finished with a scalloped edge. The ceramic plate measures 5 cm high, 31 cm wide, and 31 cm deep. In a modern interior, this piece serves effectively as a striking centrepiece on a dining table, a decorative platter placed upon a sideboard top, or as a display plate on a wall shelf within an English country house setting. The generous dimensions provide practical utility for holding fruit or acting as a standalone ornamental object in a reception room or hallway.

FAQs

Imari porcelain is a style of Japanese ceramic ware produced in the Arita region of northern Kyushu and exported from the port of Imari. Originally developed in the seventeenth century, it gained international popularity for its distinctive underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron-red and gold decorative enamel patterns.

Traditional Imari wares are crafted from fine white kaolin clay fired at high temperatures to create durable porcelain. Decorators apply underglaze cobalt blue before the initial firing, followed by hand-painted enamel overglazes in iron-red, green, and gold leaf before a secondary lower-temperature firing.

Authentic antique Imari porcelain often displays subtle irregularities in the glaze, spur marks on the base from kiln support pins, and hand-painted variations in the brushwork. Genuine nineteenth-century pieces typically feature dark cobalt blue hues and heavy iron-red enamelling with gilded highlights.

An Imari platter can be placed upright on a plate stand atop a sideboard or console table to serve as a focal point. Alternatively, mounting the charger securely on a gallery wall provides an artistic contrast against contemporary wall colours.

Care for gilded porcelain requires gentle dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth or camel-hair brush. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners, immersion in hot water, or placement in dishwashers, as these methods can strip delicate overglaze enamel and gold leaf accents.
