This large antique Japanese Meiji period Imari charger plate displays a colourful cobalt blue, rust orange, green, and gold palette featuring panelled reserves with figurative scenes and botanical motifs, alongside a central circular floral medallion and overglaze gilding. The porcelain vessel rests upright in an ornate gold-tone metal stand on a wooden surface, showing intricate scrollwork feet and retaining metal mounting clips around its rim. Measuring 45.8 cm high, 45.8 cm wide, and 5 cm deep, this piece arrives in excellent original condition with strong, vibrant glaze colours. It serves as striking wall decor or sits securely on a sideboard top, bringing traditional Asian decorative arts into an English Country House interior.

FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese export ware produced in the Arita area and shipped from the port of Imari, traditionally characterised by underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron red, gilding, and enamel decoration.

Traditional Imari ceramics utilise hard-paste porcelain kaolin clay fired at high temperatures, featuring underglaze cobalt blue painting, overglaze polychrome enamels, and liquid gold accents applied in subsequent lower-temperature firings.

Authentication involves examining spur marks on the base, irregularities in hand-drawn cobalt brushwork, wear on overglaze gilding, and the presence of slight greyish tones or pinholes in the porcelain glaze.

Imari charger plates can be displayed vertically on a sideboard using a plate stand, mounted as wall art in a grouping, or positioned on a mantelpiece to introduce colour and historical pattern to contemporary schemes.

Hand washing with warm water and mild detergent is recommended, avoiding abrasive sponges, chemicals, or dishwashers, which can degrade delicate overglaze gilding and enamels.
