What is an imari vase?

An imari vase is a ceramic vessel decorated in a traditional palette of cobalt blue, iron-red and gold. The style originated in Japan before being copied by European factories. These pieces range from small bud vases to large floor-standing vessels made for display.

How do I spot English Imari?

English imari pieces are typically made of porcelain or ironstone by makers like Royal Crown Derby or Spode. They adapt the traditional Japanese palette using British ceramic bodies and often carry specific pattern numbers. Look for maker marks on the base alongside familiar shapes such as twin-handled urns and potpourri jars.

Where were these vases displayed?

These decorative vessels were placed on mantelpieces, sideboards and tables within nineteenth-century drawing rooms. Garniture sets were arranged symmetrically to anchor a room's decorative scheme. Large floor-standing vases stood in hallways or corners to provide a strong visual focal point.

How should I clean my vase?

Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove everyday particles. Avoid using water, abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents on gilded areas. Keep gilded imari pieces out of direct sunlight to protect the fragile gold leaf and enamel pigments.
