. At this time, I am beginning to list my collection of blue and white antique Imari, some colored Japanese antique Imari rice/soup bowls with lids and some Chinese antique porcelains.

. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed brushwork and the complex border patterns, which include auspicious motifs.
. The historical context of Imari ware, being a key export porcelain from Japan, adds to its appeal.
. The design features a traditional split landscape motif.
. The intricate geometric borders and various patterns showcase the skilled craftsmanship typical of
Edo period.
. Collectors have been drawn to the historic significance, the artistry of the detailed hand-painted design and its decorative appeal.
. I have priced this special antique blue and white plate for its age, condition and quality of artistic execution.
. The signature is rare providing a high value. See less
