ABOUT PRODUCTID 6122
This Imari plate from late 19th to early 20th-century Japan is a testament to traditional Japanese ceramic artistry, crafted from faience and finished with a high-gloss glaze. Its scalloped rim and balanced proportions (22 cm diameter, 4 cm height) give it a refined silhouette. Every detail is applied by hand—from the underglaze central medallion depicting birds and stylized foliage to the surrounding alternating panels with floral motifs, birds, and geometric patterns. The surface is dominated by saturated iron-red and deep cobalt blue, enriched with green and highlighted by gold, a palette that typifies the Imari style. The plate's smooth texture reveals visible brushstrokes, and the glossy glaze enhances the brilliance of the colors, while the delicate yet sturdy construction completes its character. The plate is in good condition, with minor signs of wear and a small chip on the rim, commensurate with its age. This plate carries the voice of Japanese tradition from the end of the Edo era into the Meiji period—a time when the art of hand-painting met the evolving demand for decorative yet functional objects. Its ornamentation and palette are intentional, each hue and brushstroke weaving a narrative of harmony and seasonal cycles. The undulating rim echoes the gentle rhythm of Japanese landscapes, while the glazed surface catches the light like a lake's surface on a summer afternoon. The plate could be displayed on a low sideboard or within a glass cabinet, where its colors gain depth when paired with other porcelain or glass vessels. It pairs well with interiors inspired by Oriental themes, classic eclecticism, or Japanese minimalism, and may also serve as a striking accent in a contemporary setting. It is worth combining with neutral textiles or a simple wooden tray to highlight the hand-painted decoration and the richness of its colors.
