This large Japanese Imari shallow bowl dates to the Meiji period in the nineteenth century. Made from porcelain, the piece displays a high-gloss finish painted in cobalt blue, iron-red, green, and gold enamel, enhanced by gilt decoration. The circular body measures 6.5 cm high, 34 cm wide, and 34 cm deep, resting upon a display stand. The central design consists of a detailed foliate medallion surrounded by alternating panels depicting pagodas, garden vines, and stylised motifs. Additional features include scalloped borders, intricate floral sprays, and geometric cartouches. In a contemporary home, this shallow bowl suits placement on a sideboard top in a living room, dining room, or hallway as a decorative display object or catch-all tray. The traditional colour palette harmonises well with English Country House interiors and neutral wooden furniture. The porcelain surface requires only occasional dusting with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its finish.

FAQs

Imari porcelain originates from the Arita region in Japan and was historically exported via the port of Imari. Meiji period (18681912) examples are characterised by complex panelled layouts combining underglaze cobalt blue with overglaze enamels in iron-red, green, and gold gilding.

These items were crafted from hard-paste porcelain clay. They underwent a multi-stage firing process, starting with underglaze cobalt blue painting, followed by high-temperature firing, and concluding with detailed overglaze enamel pigments and gold leaf application fired at lower temperatures.

Authentic pieces display hand-painted variations rather than modern transfer prints, asymmetrical glaze pooling, and minor spur marks on the underside from kiln supports. Additionally, authentic gilding shows gentle historical wear rather than bright modern chemical gold coatings.

A large Imari shallow bowl works effectively as a focal point on a dark wood sideboard, displayed upright on a custom plate stand, or mounted on a focal wall. The rich blue and iron-red palette complements both classical period furniture and contemporary minimalist schemes.

Clean using a soft microfiber cloth and lukewarm water with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges, chemical polishes, or submersion in hot water, as these can degrade fragile overglaze enamels and original gilding.
