While living in Tokyo, Japan due to corporate transfers between 1975-1978 and, again,1985-1988. I collected detailed hand-painted antique Japanese porcelains from various antique stores in Japan.
. I am now a retired professional interior designer and, for years, was a member of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers).
. Currently, I am beginning to list my collection of blue and white antique Imari plates and other antique blue and white Imari pieces, including antique porcelain hibachis, sake cup holders, dishes, plates, teacups, antique Japanese colored Japanese Imari rice/soup bowls with lids, other colored Imari and some Chinese antique porcelains.
. This special "collection" of 12 antique blue and white 7" x 7" round plates with detailed hand painting is from end of EDO Period (1603-1868) or beginning of Meiji period.
. These antique Japanese blue and white porcelain plates, with lobbed and fluted edges, showcase traditional East Asian ceramic craftsman ship.
. The central pine motif symbolizes longevity and resilience in Japanese culture and is a classic element.
. The intricate geometric patterns filling the rim further enhance its visual appeal.
. The quality of the underglaze blue and delicate form contributes to is market value.
. Collectors are drawn to the historic significance, the artistry of these detailed hand-painted designs and its decorative appeal and the fact that it is a collection/set of 12.
. I have determined the price due to the age, condition and quality of artistic detail and quality.
NOTE: It is rare to find a collection of 12; however, I was able to purchase at antique stores while living in Japan between 1975-1978 and, again, 1985-1988. See less
