How were these plates used?

Most of these large dishes and chargers served decorative purposes rather than practical dining functions. They were designed for display on walls, tables, or cabinets to showcase fine craftsmanship. Smaller plates occasionally saw use in formal settings, but the larger examples functioned primarily as ornamental centrepieces in period interiors.

How do I identify Meiji period pieces?

Meiji period items typically date from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century, reflecting the artistic output of that specific imperial era. They often combine traditional motifs like chrysanthemums with meticulous hand-painted detail. Examining the glaze, weight, and painting style helps distinguish these pieces from later reproductions or earlier Edo period works.

What is the difference between Imari and Satsuma?

Imari ware is a hard porcelain characterised by deep blue underglaze, iron red, and gold highlights. It offers a bright, glossy finish derived from high-temperature firing. Satsuma ware is typically an earthenware body featuring a creamy, crackled glaze overlaid with intricate polychrome enamel and raised moriage details.
