Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

This set of three nineteenth century Japanese Imari lidded vases demonstrates the characteristic aesthetic of the period with an octagonal porcelain body finished in a glossy glaze. The detailed overglaze decoration incorporates cobalt blue and iron-red floral motifs alongside large birds, intricate cartouches, and gilded highlights, all complemented by tiered finial lids featuring shaped turning. Each piece measures 43 cm high, 22 cm wide, and 22 cm deep. Traditional mantelpiece placement suits this trio well, where they add a classic English Country House accent to an interior display. The matching decorative jars stand together as a cohesive set, functioning as ornamental accessories within a living space or hallway.

FAQs

Imari porcelain is a style of Japanese export ware named after the port of Imari, though produced in the Arita region. It is characteristically decorated in underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron-red enamelling and gilded highlights, frequently depicting floral, faunal, and geometric motifs within segmented panels.

Imari pieces are made from kaolin clay kaolinite porcelain fired at high temperatures. The production process involves initial firing with underglaze blue, followed by hand-application of enamel colours like iron-red and gold embellishments, requiring multiple subsequent kiln firings to set the pigments.

Authentic Imari exhibits slight irregularities from manual throwing and moulding, characteristic spur marks on the unglazed foot rim, and hand-painted variations in decoration. Overglaze enamels typically feature distinct textural raise above the glaze surface alongside natural age wear to the gilding.

A set or garniture of Imari lidded vases is commonly arranged symmetrically along a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard top. The vivid palette pairs effectively with dark wood furniture, gilded mirrors, and modern neutral backdrops.

Maintain porcelain by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid immersion in water or abrasive chemicals, as harsh rubbing can damage overglaze enamel pigments and delicate surface gilding.
