Antique Japanese Imari Bowl

19th century
Description

A finely decorated antique Japanese Imari bowl of scalloped circular form painted in the traditional palette of underglaze blue with iron red and soft gilt highlights. The decoration is arranged in alternating floral and geometric panels around a central medallion with expressive brushwork and strong colour contrast.

The reverse is simply finished, and the piece displays the characteristic spontaneity and charm associated with Meiji-period Imari wares. Decorative yet practical in scale, it works well as a centrepiece, serving bowl, or display item.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. 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.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese export ceramics produced in the Arita region and shipped via the port of Imari, characterised by underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze iron-red and gold decoration.

It is crafted from kaolin clay fired at high temperatures, painted with underglaze cobalt blue oxide, glazed, fired, and subsequently finished with overglaze enamel pigments and gilding in a final firing.

Authentic pieces generally display characteristic cobalt blue and iron-red palette combinations, visible spur marks on the foot rim, a crisp porcelain body, and hand-painted decorative motifs.

Position the bowl as a central accent on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to introduce historical interest, contrast, and saturated colour to modern interior schemes.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush or wash by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh abrasives or dishwashers that can degrade overglaze enamels and gilding.
