Antique Japanese Meiji Imari Oval Porcelain Dishes – Pair
Description
An antique Japanese Meiji pair of unusual Imari porcelain dishes with scalloped oval forms and richly hand-painted decoration.
Each dish is centred by a bold underglaze blue geometric flowerhead enclosed by concentric blue borders. The surrounding decoration is arranged in alternating shaped panels filled with stylised flowers, foliage, fruit and exotic birds.
The vibrant palette combines traditional Imari iron red and cobalt blue with green, turquoise, pink, yellow and gilt highlights. Circular floral reserves and richly patterned borders create an especially decorative and detailed composition.
Their unusual oval shape and gently scalloped rims distinguish them from the more commonly found circular Imari plates. The reverse of each dish is decorated with freely painted underglaze blue motifs.
A striking pair of antique Japanese dishes suitable for display in a cabinet, on a wall or as decorative centrepieces.
