The surface is densely decorated with intricate floral motifs, likely chrysanthemums and seasonal blossoms, arranged in a balanced all-over composition with decorative medallions and patterned borders. This highly ornamental style, often referred to as “Gold Imari,” was produced for both domestic use and export and became especially popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The plate is made of white porcelain and hand-painted with layered enamels and gilding, showcasing the depth and complexity typical of Imari decoration. It is marked on the base and features holes in the foot rim, allowing for easy wall display as intended. Pieces in this style are prized for their visual impact, craftsmanship, and strong association with traditional Japanese decorative arts, making them desirable additions to Imari, Arita, or Asian porcelain collections.
