ABOUT PRODUCTID 32420
This decorative Imari plate, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, is crafted from Japanese faience and hand-painted in keeping with a long-standing ceramic tradition. Against a warm, slightly creamy white background unfolds a rich, multicolored ornamentation: the center features a blue floral medallion with swirling, cobalt motifs rendered in a soft, watercolor effect. The gently scalloped rim is accentuated by a thin blue line, while alternating panels in vivid shades of red, orange, green, yellow, and turquoise depict stylized foliage and traditional Japanese motifs. The plate’s surface is glossy and glazed, enhancing the vibrancy of its colors. The faience is smooth and slightly translucent, offering a refined tactile experience. The plate is preserved in good condition, showing minor signs of use: a small chip on the edge and subtle glaze wear, with no visible restoration. The listed price refers to a single piece. This plate seems to narrate the story of Japan’s Meiji and Taisho eras, when richly decorated Imari wares graced both Japanese and European tables. Each brushstroke is a silent signature of an anonymous master, blending asymmetry with quiet compositional balance. Not only does the glaze shimmer, but it also carries echoes of journeys through blooming gardens and temple ornaments, encapsulated in intricate details. Over time, the plate acquires a noble patina, its surface reflecting the passage of the years—subtly, without excess. It
