FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese porcelain wares produced in the Arita region of Hizen province and exported via the port of Imari, predominantly during the Edo period. These ceramics are characterised by underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron-red and enamel decoration.

Imari wares are crafted from kaolin ceramic clay fired at high temperatures to produce a dense porcelain body. Decorative patterns combine painted underglaze cobalt blue, initial high-temperature glaze firing, and subsequent application of overglaze iron-red and enamel pigments fired at lower temperatures.

Authentic 18th-century Imari pieces frequently feature spur marks on the base from kiln supports, small glaze pinholes, and deep cobalt blue tones beneath hand-applied iron-red enamelling. The porcelain body often displays slight greyish undertones compared to later modern productions.

Imari ceramics function effectively as accent display pieces on a sideboard top, arranged within open bookcases, or mounted on walls in curated groupings. The vibrant contrast of cobalt blue and iron-red introduces historical texture and pattern to both traditional and contemporary spaces.

Clean antique Imari porcelain by hand using lukewarm water and a gentle liquid soap, avoiding abrasive pads or chemical cleaners that could erode overglaze enamels. Do not submerge pieces with existing hair cracks or place them in automatic dishwashers.
