Imari ware is a style of Japanese export porcelain known for its vibrant, elaborate designs and characteristic colors: blue, dark red, and white, often enhanced with gold.

The style is named after the port of Imari, from which it was shipped to Nagasaki for export, primarily by the Dutch East India Company.

Common motifs, such as the flowers and scrolling patterns seen here, are often used to cover most of the surface of the piece.

This specific piece features a central medallion and paneled borders with wave patterns and floral designs, typical of the style popular during the Meiji period (late 19th century). See less
