Imari Ware Plate — a commanding and decorative piece that captures the opulence and intricacy of mid-century Japanese porcelain art. This vibrant plate is adorned with alternating panels of chrysanthemums and geometric florals, rendered in traditional Imari colorways of deep red, cobalt blue, and gilt gold. Each section is hand-painted with care, creating visual rhythm across the round surface.
Originally developed for both domestic and export purposes, plates like this were treasured in Western households for their exotic appeal and technical finesse. The strong symmetry and saturated hues make this a particularly striking example of postwar Imari — where cultural symbolism meets graphic composition.
Ideal for collectors, interior decorators, or connoisseurs of Asian fine porcelain.
