We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

This large circular Japanese Imari porcelain charger from 1890 displays a radial panelled layout painted by hand in cobalt blue, iron red, green and white with gilded highlights. The central medallion depicts a flowering vase on a table, enclosed by alternating panels featuring clouds, leaves, flowers, bats and fauna, with further painted decoration on the reverse. The smooth glazed ceramic plate stands vertically on a dark polished wooden display stand with moulded stepped feet and a rectangular base, set against a pale grey patterned fabric tablecloth. Measuring 46.5 cm high, 46.5 cm wide and 6 cm deep, this substantial piece sits securely on a dining room sideboard top or display cabinet shelf to introduce rich traditional East Asian colour and pattern into an English country house interior.

FAQs

An Imari charger is a substantial decorative porcelain dish originating from the Arita region of Japan, historically exported through the port of Imari and characterized by distinctive enamelled designs.

Traditional Imari porcelain is constructed from kaolin clay, decorated with underglaze cobalt blue before firing, and subsequently hand-finished with overglaze iron-red enamels and gold gilding.

Authentic pieces feature hand-painted brushwork with minor asymmetrical variations, underglaze blue markings, an iron-red palette, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

A large charger can be styled on a plate stand atop a sideboard, housed within a glazed display cabinet, or mounted directly onto a wall as a central decorative accent.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid immersion in water or the use of harsh chemical cleaners to protect the delicate surface enamels and gilding.
