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.

Imari porcelain originates from the Arita region in Japan and was named after the nearby port of Imari, from which it was exported to Europe starting in the seventeenth century. The style gained international popularity for its distinct combination of underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze iron-red enamels enriched with gilding.

Traditional Imari wares are constructed from white kaolin clay fired at high temperatures. The decoration relies on a multi-stage process incorporating underglaze cobalt blue paint followed by glazes, overglaze iron-red enamel, and delicate gold leaf detailing.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces display minor surface variations, hand-painted asymmetry in the intricate line work, and signs of wear on the gilt highlights. Unglazed foot rims often show natural discolouration and subtle spur marks from the kiln firing process.

A pair of Imari vases can be arranged symmetrically on a console table, sideboard, or fireplace mantelpiece to create visual balance. Their rich contrast of blue, red, and gold pairs effectively with dark timber surfaces or neutral contemporary backgrounds.

Dust the porcelain regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush around raised details. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, immersion in water, or abrasive materials, as these can strip overglaze enamel and historical gilding.
