This is a super, large Imari charger, scalloped edged and decorated in the traditional palette of reds golds and blues.
Bands of patterns radiate from a central disc with a vase of flowers motif, the patterns a heady mix of birds, flowers and geometric designs - overall it makes for a truly vibrant and eye-catching centrepiece.
Painted on the underside are two symbols for the endless knot, and a pair of bats.
The charger is 31cm in diameter, and stands 5cm tall - when viewed from the side it undulates beautifully which really highlights its hand crafted artisanal origins.
The plate is in overall good condition with surface wear commensurate to its age. There are no cracks, but it does have a few nibbles and glaze grazes around the rim. Please see the photographs of these to see the extent and examine its full condition.
Please don''t hesitate to get in touch if I can provide any further information, or help in any way.
