Absolutely stunning Japanese porcelain 'Igezara' plate, most likely dating from the Meiji era.
Igezara pieces have a "piecrust", "scalloped" or "notched" rim. Ige is a Saga prefecture dialect for thorn. Zara = dish. When these came out of the kiln, the pinched areas were 'sharp as thorns' before being smoothed down. Thus Igezara = Thorn plates. The form is very common in the Meiji (1868-1913) and Taisho period (1913-1926) and particularly associated with printed patterns.
Igezara was made for the common man and usually thickly potted to withstand wear and tear from daily use. The generally accepted period Igezara was made is 1880 - 1910, but may have had some early and late examples.
This exceptional charger plate shows an ornate geometric and flower design with foliage and phoenix birds as main focal point, all in an eye-popping blue.
Measures 15 3/4" x 2". Excellent condition, no chips, cracks, or repairs. No major chips, cracks, or repairs.
