19th century Antique Imari Oval Bowl
19th century Antique Imari Oval Bowl
A Table Centrepiece with Three Centuries of History
This striking oval bowl exemplifies the celebrated Imari palette — rich cobalt underglaze blue and iron-red overglaze enamel, accented with gilding, in the bold floral and lattice patterns that made Japanese export porcelain the prized possession of European collectors from the 17th century onwards.
Picture it at the centre of a well-dressed table or displayed on a mantelpiece: its generous oval form commands attention, while the hand-painted decoration rewards close inspection. Each brushstroke is a mark of the skilled artisan who painted it.
