ABOUT PRODUCTID 32327
This Imari plate from Japan, dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is crafted from faience and hand-painted in accordance with the Imari tradition. Its scalloped rim is outlined in deep cobalt blue, alternating with fields in blue, red-orange, green, and taupe, creating a distinctive, multicolored border. The center features a motif of a bird perched on a branch among stylized flowers and grasses, with a butterfly above—rendered in shades of red, orange, green, and delicate gold accents. The glossy, glazed surface and subtle variations in the painted details confirm its artisanal origin. The plate measures 22 cm in diameter and 4 cm in height. Condition is very good: only light scratches and minimal glaze wear are visible, with no significant damage or restoration. This plate echoes the spirit of Japan’s late Edo and early Meiji eras—a period when local tradition encountered new influences. The vibrant cobalt and iron red characteristic of Imari ceramics evoke festive gatherings, daily rituals, and a craftsmanship passed down through generations. The imagery of the bird and butterfly conjures a spring garden, where each moment is cherished, and the hand-painted contours reflect a reverence for nature’s harmony and the beauty of fleeting details. The plate can serve as a focal accent on the table—suiting both minimalist and eclectic interiors. It may be paired with plain porcelain, dark wood, or a neutral woven fabric, allowing its colorful decoration to stand out. In a collector’s setting, it could be combined with other Japanese objects—lacquerware, bronze, or even contemporary glass—highlighting both its heritage and the versatility of its form. The listed price applies to a single piece.
