This Japanese Imari porcelain plate originates from 1900 and displays an English Country House design vibe. The piece measures 5.5 cm high, 31 cm wide, and 31 cm deep, and rests on a clear plastic stand in the photograph, accompanied by a mottled wooden surface underneath. The white glazed body features a raised scalloped rim and a fluted centre, decorated with hand-painted floral chrysanthemums, leaves, and scrolls within alternating geometric diaper pattern panels. The hand-painted palette incorporates cobalt blue, terracotta or iron-red, green, and white colours. In a contemporary home, this decorative plate sits suitably on a sideboard top, bringing traditional oriental craftsmanship to an interior setting. The glazed surface shows intricate hand-painted details across the alternating blue and red panels that radiate from the fluted central medallion. The scalloped edges define the circular profile of the porcelain dish, while the vibrant enamel pigments create a striking contrast against the pale glazed background.

FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese export ceramics manufactured in the Arita region of Hizen province and exported via the port of Imari. Characterised by underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron-red and gilt detailing, this style gained widespread popularity across Europe from the late seventeenth century onwards.

Traditional Imari wares are crafted from high-fired kaolin clay to create a durable porcelain body. The decoration relies on underglaze cobalt blue application prior to the primary firing, followed by hand-painted enamel glazes in iron-red and gold applied during subsequent lower-temperature kilns.

Authentic pieces display hand-painted irregularities, subtle spur marks on the base from kiln supports, and a slightly bluish glaze tone. Overglaze enamels often exhibit slight surface elevation or gentle age-related rubbing, contrasting with flat, uniform modern reproductions.

Imari plates serve as vibrant accent pieces when arranged in wall-mounted groups or displayed upright on metal stands inside glass cabinets. Placing an Imari dish flat on a coffee table or console table provides a structured tray for small accessories while injecting rich pattern and colour.

Clean surface dust using a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For deeper cleaning, wash gently by hand using warm water and a mild dishwashing detergent, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleansers that can wear down delicate overglaze enamel and gilding.
