Japanese Imari Porcelain Bowl

This item is a Japanese Imari porcelain bowl, known for its vibrant red, blue, and gold decoration. The style, featuring dense, multi-colored patterns, is often referred to as Kinrande or "brocade style". Produced in the Arita area of Japan and exported through the port of Imari. The characteristic palette includes underglaze cobalt blue, iron red, and extensive gold detailing, often accented with other colors like green or black. The bowl in the image displays panels with floral and landscape motifs.
Age and Value: Imari ware has been produced for centuries. Pieces from the Meiji era (late 19th/early 20th century) are common, but exact age and value depend on condition, quality, and rarity. Many authentic antique pieces are unmarked, making appraisals difficult without expert consultation.
Modern Imari: Items marked "Gold Imari, Hand-painted," are typically vintage Arita wares produced between 1959 and 1984. Excellent pre-owned condition. Please see pictures for details.
