Description
Imari dish. Japan, Meiji period, second half of the 19th century. Glazed porcelain. Presents pitting, hair and restoration. Measurements: 21,5 x 20 cm. Porcelain dish decorated in the Imari style, whose main characteristic is the use of underglaze cobalt blue glaze, combined with other glazes over the glaze, mainly iron red and gilding. Imari wares were produced in Japan from the third quarter of the 17th century until 1730-35, although there was a revival of the style during the 19th century. In decorative terms, Imari is very free, with compositions that occupy the entire space of the piece, generally asymmetrical, combining different motifs and cartouches of various shapes, as seen here.
