This unusual antique Japanese Imari plate, dating from 1900, is a decorative porcelain charger finished with a white glaze, cobalt blue paint, and iron-red enamelling. The asymmetrical piece has a scalloped rim and displays a central blue pine tree motif set against a landscape showing trees and a house, alongside circular reserves containing further hand-painted details. It stands 7 cm high, 37 cm wide, and 34 cm deep. In a modern interior, this item suits placement on a sideboard top to introduce traditional Japanese Imari style to an English Country House setting. The porcelain surface exhibits rich cobalt blue and iron-red tones across its hand-painted decorations.

FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese export ceramics produced in the Arita region and shipped via the port of Imari, traditionally characterized by underglaze cobalt blue combined with iron-red enamel and gilding.

These ceramics are crafted from kaolin ceramic clay, painted with cobalt oxide prior to primary firing, and subsequently decorated with overglaze enamels such as iron-red before a second lower-temperature firing.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-painted brushwork with minor natural irregularities, spur marks on the base, a greyish-white porcelain body, and minor surface wear to the overglaze enamels.

Place the dish on a wooden plate display stand atop a sideboard, integrate it into a wall-mounted plate gallery, or position it on a console table as an accent piece.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and clean with tepid water and mild soap when required, avoiding harsh chemicals, dishwashers, or prolonged soaking to protect the overglaze enamels.
