About the Item

Japanese Edo Period Nabashima Blue White Porcelain Plate Sea Shells Family Crest Japan, Ca. 1850 Period: Edo Period (1603–1868) Date: Circa 1850 Markings: Signed on the back Dimensions: Diameter: 7.5 inches; Depth: 1.5 inches ABOUT An exquisite example of Edo-period craftsmanship, this finely potted Nabashima porcelain plate dates to circa 1850 and showcases the refined aesthetic and technical mastery associated with the prestigious Nabeshima kilns. Rendered in underglaze cobalt blue on a pristine white ground, the design features a delicate arrangement of stylized seashells — symbols of good fortune and longevity in Japanese art — alongside a boldly painted family crest, emphasizing the plate’s likely aristocratic commission or courtly use. Characteristic of Nabeshima ware, the composition is both elegant and balanced, with a subtle yet commanding presence. The reverse bears the signature of the maker and exhibits the typical footring style and underglaze blue decoration associated with authentic Nabeshima porcelain of the late Edo period. A superb collector’s piece, this plate reflects the sophistication and symbolism of elite Japanese porcelain production in the waning years of the Shogunate era.

Japanese Meiji Period Imari Porcelain Charger with Flower and Bees, ca. 1900 DIMENSIONS: Diameter: 16 inches DETAILS Meiji Period: 1868-1912 ABOUT IMARI PORCELAIN Japanese Imari porcelain refers to a type of porcelain ware that was produced in the town of Arita, in Saga Prefecture on Japan’s Kyushu island, and exported primarily from the nearby port of Imari—hence the name. Origins & History: • Early 17th century (Edo period): Porcelain production began in Arita after Korean potters, brought to Japan during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598), discovered kaolin (porcelain clay) in the area. • Mid-17th century to 18th century: Imari ware became a major export to Europe via the Dutch East India Company. • Declined in export after 1750s as Chinese porcelain re-entered European markets. Characteristics: • Base: Made from fine white porcelain. • Decoration: Richly colored and ornate, featuring: o Underglaze blue painting (Arita blue-and-white style). o Overglaze enamels, especially in red, gold, green, and blue (the classic “Kinrande” Imari style). • Designs: Often feature floral motifs, birds, mythical creatures, and geometric patterns in bold symmetrical compositions. Types of Imari: 1. Early Imari / Shoki...
