Item Description

Enjoy this beautiful approximately 14.5-inch in diameter Imari charger, featuring six sectional panels with flowers and birds, as well as and a gorgeous floral scene in the center medallion.

Traditional Japanese porcelain is highly admired and collected for its exquisite compositions – both materially and artistically. Imari, a type of brightly colored porcelain that first began to be exported to Europe during the mid-17th century, remains a prized commodity for its artistry and craftsmanship. Imari arguably reached one of its most opulent and exquisite zeniths during the Meiji period, which followed the Edo period between 1868 and 1912.
