FAQs

Imari porcelain originates from the port city of Imari in Arita, Saga Prefecture, Japan, and became famous globally during the Edo period for its vibrant cobalt blue, iron red, and gilt decoration destined for export.

Imari pieces are crafted from local white clay, shaped on a potters wheel, fired, and then hand-painted using underglaze cobalt blue followed by overglaze enamel colours such as iron red, gold, and green.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-painted brushwork with slight irregularities, traditional underglaze blue lines combined with iron red and gold highlights, and often feature base marks corresponding to specific kiln periods or dynasties.

These pieces function as striking focal points when placed singly or in pairs on sideboards, mantels, or open shelving, contrasting cleanly against neutral backdrops to highlight their intricate patterns.

Clean antique ceramics gently with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp sponge, avoiding harsh chemical detergents, abrasive scrubbers, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to protect the fragile overglaze enamels and gilding.
