This antique Japanese Imari plate originates from 1900 and exemplifies traditional craftsmanship in porcelain with a rich cobalt glaze. The circular piece displays a distinct blue and white colour palette, featuring a hand-painted underglaze design of detailed peony motifs, trees, and a small bird nestled amongst dense foliage. A dense floral scroll pattern decorates the wide, scalloped rim, which finishes the ornate edge with gently curved indentations. This decorative plate measures 5.5 cm high by 32 cm wide and 32 cm deep, presenting a substantial display format suitable for antique collectors. In a contemporary interior, this piece serves as a striking decorative element suited for placement atop a sideboard or within a traditional display cabinet. The intricate cobalt artwork complements various interior styles, particularly the classic English Country House aesthetic, adding historic character to reception rooms or dining spaces. Displaying the plate upright on a small stand highlights the fine detail of the painted flora and bird motifs against the white porcelain ground, bringing authentic Meiji period style into domestic settings.

FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese export ware produced in the Arita area and shipped from the port of Imari, historically characterised by intricate underglaze cobalt blue patterns and later overglaze enamels.

Imari porcelain is constructed from fine china clay (kaolin) and crushed petuntse stone, decorated with cobalt oxide underglaze before being fired at high temperatures to achieve a hard, vitreous finish.

Authentic pieces often exhibit slight manual irregularities in the potting, spur marks or stilt impressions on the underside, and rich underglaze cobalt blue tones that bleed subtly into the clear glaze layer.

A decorative blue and white plate can be mounted on a feature wall, rested on a metal stand atop a console table, or arranged alongside complementary ceramics inside a display cabinet.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild dishwashing liquid with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads that could scratch the glazed surface.
