ABOUT PRODUCTID 32277
A hand-painted Imari dish from Japan, dating to the late 19th and early 20th century, crafted entirely from faience. Its glossy white ground is dominated by a rich iron-red, offset by deep black, olive green, and subtle gold details. The central scene features two figures in traditional Japanese attire, surrounded by lush foliage and stylized floral motifs. The rim is adorned with alternating panels of florals and geometric patterns, all executed with visible, precise brushwork. The dish is round, measuring 21 cm in diameter, with gently sloping sides and a slightly raised edge; the surface is smooth and glazed. The condition is very good, with only minor signs of use such as faint surface scratches and minimal paint wear. There are no major chips, cracks, or repairs, and the original period patina is preserved. The indicated price refers to a single piece. This dish carries the quiet voice of late 19th-century Japan—a time when tradition met an exquisite attention to detail. The saturated reds and golds evoke festive gatherings, while the floral and figural motifs seem to tell stories of gardens, tea ceremonies, and everyday rituals. Each line and shade is not just ornamentation, but a gesture of the craftsman, building an atmosphere of harmony and calm. Such a piece could be displayed on a wooden console, where its vivid palette plays against a natural background. It would work well in interiors inspired by Asian aesthetics or classic eclecticism, paired with other ceramics, lacquered accents, or subtle textiles. The dish may also be combined with minimalist contemporary tableware to highlight the dialogue between tradition and modernity, or used as a decorative accent in the living room, library, or tea corner.
