This part dinner service of Minton China features the bold and impressive colours of the Imari palette - a distinctive set of colours and decoration developed in Arita in the last two decades of the seventeenth century, characterized by its palette of under glaze cobalt blue and over glaze enamels of strong colours, such as iron red and gold. Beyond the glaze, decoration is equally distinctive. Imari designs usually show auspicious symbols and stylized pictorial scenes. Very light crazing for porcelain pieces in excess of 100 years old, which is a testament to Minton craftsmanship and quality of porcelain and its glazing techniques.
Ca. 1898
Note: There are one or two chips on some of the rims and slight variations to the pattern.
