This unusual collection comprises three antique Japanese Imari porcelain dishes dating from the 1900 period in the Edo and Meiji style. Each piece features a white glazed body finished with hand-painted polychrome decoration in shades of blue, iron red, green, gold, and yellow, complemented by scalloped rims. The surface details display intricate floral scrolls, medallion centerpieces, and a distinct scene of a figure on horseback against an architectural background. The dishes are supported on small metal stands resting on a burr wood surface. Each individual plate measures 4.5 cm high, 21 cm wide, and 21 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this decorative plate set provides a traditional accent suitable for display on a sideboard top within an English Country House interior. The combination of hand-painted figurative and botanical motifs introduces historical character and colour to a reception room or dining space.

FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese export ceramics produced in the Arita region and named after the port of Imari from which they were shipped, particularly during the Edo and Meiji periods.

These pieces are made from high-fired porcelain kaolin clay, painted with underglaze cobalt blue before firing, and subsequently decorated with overglaze iron-red, gold, and enamel motifs in additional low-fire kiln cycles.

Authentic pieces generally display visible hand-brushwork unevenness, spur marks on the underside from kiln firing, characteristic palette combinations of cobalt blue and iron red, and natural wear along unglazed foot rims.

Imari plates can be displayed on brass stands atop sideboards, grouped into a gallery wall arrangement, or integrated into modern shelving to add historical detail and contrast.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild detergent with a non-abrasive soft cloth, avoiding dishwashers, harsh chemical solvents, or prolonged immersion to protect overglaze enamels and gilding.
