An early 20th-century Japanese Imari porcelain bowl stands as an appealing example of traditional Meiji or Taishō period craftsmanship. The round vessel has a scalloped rim and a footed base, decorated with hand-painted floral motifs and chrysanthemum reserves in underglaze cobalt blue, iron red, and white. The glossy enamel glaze highlights the detailed circular panels and botanical sprays across the exterior surface, while the underside bears the Kiku mark of the Kajiwara Kikusaburo kiln. Measuring 11 cm high, 27 cm wide, and 27 cm deep, the bowl sits comfortably on surfaces around the home. Practical decorative use makes this porcelain piece a strong addition to contemporary interiors. Positioned as a dining table centrepiece, it holds fruit or small ornaments effectively, while also serving as a standalone decorative bowl on a sideboard or console table. The distinct cobalt blue and rust red palette brings traditional English Country House character to modern rooms, offering both aesthetic appeal and everyday utility.

FAQs

Imari porcelain originates from the Arita region of Japan and was historically exported to Europe through the port of Imari. It is renowned for its distinctive colour palette, featuring underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron red and gold enamel on a white porcelain body.

Imari ceramics are crafted from fine kaolin porcelain clay, fired at high temperatures for durability. The process involves initial underglaze painted decoration in cobalt blue, followed by clear glazing, re-firing, and subsequent hand-application of enamel paints and gilt detailing before a final low-temperature firing.

Authentic pieces display hand-painted brushwork with slight variations, a lobed or scalloped rim structure, and characteristic floral or panelled compositions. Look for natural wear to the overglaze red enamel or gilding, along with traditional blue ring markings or signatures on the underside.

An Imari bowl functions exceptionally well as a centrepiece on a dining table, console, or sideboard. The deep blue and rich rust tones contrast elegantly against natural dark wood surfaces, polished marble, or contemporary neutral backdrops.

Hand wash the porcelain gently using warm water and a mild dishwashing detergent with a non-abrasive soft cloth. Avoid dishwashers, harsh chemical cleansers, and abrasive sponges to protect delicate overglaze enamels and gilding from fading or scratching.
