How do I identify Edo period pieces?

Edo period pieces display authentic Japanese export characteristics, often featuring hand-painted Imari palettes on hard-paste porcelain bodies. These early vessels usually show subtle potting variations and traditional subject matter like samurai figures within compartmentalised panels.

Were these jars used for storage?

Many lidded vessels served as decorative display items, while specific forms like tea canisters and sugar bowls held dry goods. Larger jars and koro incense burners functioned primarily as ornamental centrepieces in period interiors rather than utilitarian containers.

What is the difference between Japanese and British Imari?

Japanese examples originate from export workshops during the Edo and Meiji periods, utilising traditional local clays and hand-painting techniques. British interpretations, produced by factories like Royal Crown Derby and Mason's, adapt the iconic palette onto bone china or ironstone bodies.

How should I clean my porcelain jar?

Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry brush to prevent any accumulation of particles within the glazed and gilded recesses. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive cloths, as moisture and harsh scrubbing can damage delicate overglaze enamels and gold leaf.
