The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Imari porcelain, originating from the Arita region in Japan, was produced primarily for export to Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries via Dutch traders. Named after the shipping port of Imari, this style is renowned for its palette of underglaze cobalt blue, overglaze iron-red, and gilded floral motifs.

These basins were crafted from high-fired porcelain clay, hand-thrown or moulded with a distinct crescent rim cut-out to fit comfortably against the neck. Craftsmen applied cobalt blue underglaze decoration before firing, followed by intricate enamel overglaze painting in iron-red and gold detailing.

Authentic 18th-century examples display visible signs of hand craftsmanship, such as slight asymmetry, spur marks on the base, and pierced rim holes designed for wall hanging. The enamels show age-appropriate wear, and the underglaze blue features rich, variable tones characteristic of early cobalt pigments.

Due to their distinctive shaped rim and decorative palette, these bowls make striking wall displays when mounted using conservation-safe wire hangers. Alternatively, place the bowl flat on a sideboard or console table as a focal decorative dish.

Dust the piece gently with a soft microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush to protect delicate overglaze enamels. Avoid immersing the ceramic in hot water or using chemical detergents, as harsh cleaning can strip historical gilding and cause thermal shock.
