AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of square dishes in Imari-style Japanese porcelain – 19th century (attributed)

Magnificent pair of decorative square dishes in Imari-style Japanese porcelain, likely from the second half of the 19th century, late Edo period or Meiji period.

These two dishes feature a rich polychrome decoration executed in the traditional Imari colors: cobalt blue, iron red, green and gold touches.

The decoration depicts a majestic bird evoking the Japanese phoenix, surrounded by flowering branches, foliage and plant motifs. A traditional figurative scene illustrating two characters completes this refined composition.

The dishes are distinguished by their slightly wavy borders, decorative compartments and the finesse of their motifs.

Dimensions :

* Large plate: 30 × 30 cm
* Small plate: 27 × 27 cm
* Quantity: 2 pieces
* Origin: Japan
* Material: Porcelain
* Style: Japanese Imari
* Era: 19th century (probable attribution)

Condition:

Old condition with signs of wear related to age. Presence of cracks, chips and old restorations with metal staples, visible notably on the reverse.

These restorations testify to a traditional ceramic repair technique.

The photographs are an integral part of the description and allow appreciation of the details, restorations and the overall condition of the two pieces.

An interesting decorative ensemble for enthusiasts of ancient Japanese porcelains and collectors of Asian art objects.
