ABOUT PRODUCTID 33564
This octagonal Imari serving dish, crafted from Japanese faience at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, is a distinguished example of traditional East Asian ceramics. Its form is defined by gently fluted surfaces, while the hand-painted decoration draws from the iconic Imari palette of deep cobalt blue, vivid iron red, and subtle green accents. Stylized floral and fruit motifs unfold on a warm, creamy white background, arranged symmetrically around the central medallion and within three decorative cartouches. The slightly undulating rim, accentuated by a glossy glaze, and visible brushwork imbue the piece with an understated yet refined character. The glaze enhances the vibrancy of the colors, and the overall craftsmanship reveals the skilled touch of the artisan. The dish measures 24 cm in diameter and 5 cm in height. The condition is very good—only minor signs of use and minimal glaze imperfections, consistent with age and hand production; no visible chips, cracks, or repairs.
This serving dish resonates with the voice of old Japan—as if it could tell of a time when serving food was ceremonial and every detail mattered. The lively brushstrokes of flowers and fruit recall the harmony between nature and daily life. The tactile, fluted surface invites one to trace the vessel’s history through layers of glaze. It is an object that transports the imagination to traditional homes and temples, where the colors of Imari signified status and cultivated taste.
The dish can serve as a striking centerpiece on a dining or living room table—either as a standalone decorative object or as a functional vessel for fruit, sweets, or small treats. It will complement interiors furnished in classic, eclectic, or oriental styles; pairing it with ceramics of smooth surfaces or with dark
