About the Item
The image shows an Imari porcelain bowl, a distinctive style of Japanese export porcelain.
Origin and Name:
Imari ware originated in the Arita kilns of the former Hizen Province in northwestern Kyūshū, Japan. It is named after the port of Imari, from which these porcelains were shipped to Nagasaki for export to Europe, primarily by the Dutch East India Company.
Characteristics:
Imari porcelain is known for its bright, elaborate designs, typically featuring a palette of underglaze blue, iron red, gold, and sometimes other overglaze enamels like green and aubergine. The decoration often includes floral motifs, geometric patterns, and sometimes scenes from Japanese or European life.
Historical Significance:
Imari ware was highly popular in Europe from the late 17th to the mid-18th century, leading to copies being produced in China and various European factories. The style saw a resurgence in popularity after Japan's self-isolation period ended in the mid-19th century.
Collecting:
Pieces produced before 1750 are known as "Old Imari" and are particularly valued due to their scarcity. Imari pieces are typically unmarked, though some may feature naturalistic or Buddhist symbols.

Japanese Imari Porcelain, Blue
White Plate, Meiji Era, (1868-1912)
By Imari Porcelain
Located in Worcester Park, GB
A fine example of Japanese Imari porcelain, this plate likely dates to the Meiji period and reflects the artistry and craftsmanship that made Imari ware so prized worldwide. Originating in the kilns of Arita and shipped through the port of Imari, these porcelains became synonymous with elegance, rich design, and cultural exchange between Japan and the West.
Design:
This plate features a scalloped edge and is richly decorated in cobalt blue and white with a detailed tableau of peacocks, birds, flowering trees, and foliage—motifs deeply symbolic in Japanese art, representing beauty, longevity, and renewal. The balance of naturalistic detail and decorative flourish is characteristic of Imari porcelain of the late 19th century.
Era:
Given its style and subject matter, this piece can be attributed to the late 19th to early 20th century, during Japan’s Meiji era, a period when traditional craftsmanship flourished alongside modernization.
Why Collectors Value It:
Exemplifies the refined artistry of Japanese porcelain during a culturally transformative period.
Features timeless natural motifs that resonate with both collectors and decorators.
