Item Description

A stunning example of Japanese Imari ware from the late 19th century, likely dating to the Meiji period (1868-1912). This large porcelain charger plate features a distinctive lobed or scalloped edge and is hand-painted in the traditional, vibrant Imari palette of underglaze cobalt blue, iron red, and gilt (gold) accents.

The design centers around a floral arrangement in a vase or pot, surrounded by alternating panels (lappets) of natural motifs and geometric patterns. The back features simple blue apocryphal marks within the foot rim, typical of export ware from this era, and an unglazed foot.

Dimensions:
13 1/4" diameter
