Антикварная презентационная тарелка «Имари»

A large collector's plate is an excellent example of Japanese decorative art of the beginning of the 20th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, porcelain tableware began to be produced in Saga prefecture in southern Japan. Deposits of the main component—kaolin—were found near the city of Arita. Products made in the city and prefecture traveled around the world through the port of Imari, which gave it its name. Europeans fell in love with Arita's exotic ceramics and dishes began to be supplied in large quantities. The use of pure rich shades, mainly blue and orange, is characteristic of this style, and the addition of gold elements creates an exquisite gloss of decoration. Six reserves with traditional "birds and flowers" motifs were arranged around a circular central arrangement of stylized flowers.
