What is an Imari dish?

An Imari dish is a piece of Japanese porcelain decorated in a distinctive palette of cobalt blue underglaze and iron red, frequently accented with gold leaf. These ceramics were produced for both domestic use and export, becoming highly popular in European interiors from the seventeenth century onwards.

How do I date a Japanese plate?

Dating involves examining the ceramic body, the style of the cobalt blue underglaze, and the application of any overglaze enamel colours. Pottery marks, regional traits like Arita production, and characteristic motifs such as the Seven Lucky Gods also help narrow down the period of manufacture.

Where were Arita dishes made?

Arita dishes originated in Hizen province on the island of Kyushu, where local clay deposits suited high-firing porcelain production. Master potters in this region established the foundations of Japanese export porcelain.

Can I use antique plates for dining?

While these pieces were originally functional ceramics, antique porcelain and enamel dishes are generally reserved for display today. Hand-washing is strongly advised to protect fragile overglaze enamels and gold leaf details from modern detergents.
