19th century
Description

19TH CENTURY IMARI SCALLOPED DISH

Fine elongated, antique oval-shaped decorative porcelain dish styled in traditional Japanese Imari (or Arita) porcelain design. This highly decorative dish has a scalloped, fluted rim with subtle ribbed contours running down toward the center. It features the classic Imari colour scheme—cobalt blue, iron-red, orange, green, and accents of gold over a white porcelain glaze.

A central vertical oval medallion framed in dark cobalt blue contains an intricate floral vine pattern with blue leaves and small orange blossoms. On the left and right sides, curved lobed panels outlined in deep red, cobalt blue, and gold contain detailed depictions of exotic birds (phoenixes or hōō) perching among green foliage and blue blossoms.

At the upper and lower ends, scalloped light green borders frame stylized chrysanthemum floral sprays. Surrounding these cartouches and panels are intricate background fill patterns, including blue and orange diamond lattice (shippo or geometric netting motifs) and scrolling gilded tendrils on cobalt blue bands.

This nineteenth-century Japanese Imari or Arita decorative dish takes an elongated oval form rendered in porcelain with a white glaze, cobalt blue, iron-red, orange, green, and gold enamels. The piece exhibits a scalloped, fluted rim with ribbed contours leading to the centre, which holds a vertical oval medallion filled with a floral vine pattern of blue leaves and orange blossoms. Flanking this central panel are curved lobed sections depicting phoenix birds among green foliage, while the upper and lower ends display chrysanthemum sprays within light green borders, all set against a dense background of geometric diamond lattice and scrolling gilded tendrils. The dish measures 15 cm high, 23 cm wide, and 5 cm deep. It functions effectively as a decorative accent placed on top of a sideboard in a living room or dining area.

FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese ceramic wares produced in the Arita region of Hizen province and exported via the port of Imari. Distinctive for its rich palette, traditional Imari features underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron-red, orange, green enamels, and gilding.

Imari ceramics are crafted from fine porcelain clay fired at high temperatures. The production process involves painting initial blue details using cobalt pigment under the glaze, followed by a second low-temperature firing after applying colourful enamel pigments and gold leaf accents over the glaze.

Authentic 19th-century Imari pieces typically feature hand-painted variations in line thickness and colour application rather than transfer-printed uniformity. Look for subtle irregularities in the scalloped edges, firing spur marks on the underside, and age-appropriate wear to gold leaf embellishments.

Imari dishes serve as bold decorative accents when displayed on wooden sideboards, mantelpieces, or styled within curated bookshelf vignettes. The rich blue and orange palette complements dark mahogany, walnut, and neutral contemporary backdrop tones.

Clean antique Imari porcelain using lukewarm water and mild liquid soap applied gently with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges, chemical solvents, and dishwashers, as these can erode the delicate overglaze enamels and gilding.
