Vintage 11-Inch Japanese Imari Porcelain Charger – Hand-Painted Three-Medallion Bird & Peony
Add a vibrant anchor to your gallery wall or mantel with this monumental 11-inch Japanese Imari porcelain charger. A masterful example of mid-to-late 20th-century Arita-style ceramic artistry, this piece features a high-contrast "Three-Medallion" composition that is both traditional and strikingly modern.
The charger is anchored by a deep iron-red "brocade" ground, meticulously hand-decorated with white and gold floral sprays. Three scalloped "cloud" medallions serve as windows into a serene garden, depicting graceful birds amongst lush peonies—a classical pairing in Japanese iconography symbolizing wealth, honor, and the arrival of spring. The palette is rounded out by a rich forest-green border with cobalt blue scrolls and hand-applied gold gilt accents that provide a luminous, three-dimensional quality to the enamel.
Notably, the underside of the foot rim features original factory-drilled holes, allowing for secure wall mounting without the need for unsightly wire hangers. Whether styled in a Chinoiserie vignette, a Modern Traditional library, or as a standalone "shelfie" superstar, this charger brings an immediate sense of global heritage and artisanal luxury to the home.
Dimensions
11”W x 11”D x 1.5”H
Condition
Excellent Vintage Condition – The hand-painted enamels remain exceptionally vibrant with no noted fading or "wear-through." The gold leaf detailing is remarkably well-preserved. There are no chips, cracks, or crazing. The underside shows minor, authentic kiln-firing marks and shelf wear to the unglazed foot rim, consistent with age and quality production.
A soulful fusion of historic symbolism and bold decorative energy, this Imari Charger is a blue-chip acquisition for the discerning collector of Asian Art and a "must-have" for the high-end interior architect.
