Description

19th-century Japanese hand-painted Imari porcelain plate. Imari is a style of porcelain named after the Japanese port from which it was shipped from, beginning in the late 17th century. The Imari palette revolved around three main colors–the blue underglaze, a rusty reddish-orange and a brilliant gold. Imari-ware took its design cues from colorful Japanese textiles of the day such as exotic landscapes and birds. Please note: For decorative use only. Stand not included. Age wear.
