Pair of Imari Stem Dishes (Tazza) - 19th C.
Description:A historically matched pair of Japanese Imari-style high footed dishes (tazza/stem dishes), dating from the late Edo to Meiji period (19th century).The technical analysis of the bases reveals a fascinating educational aspect for collectors – these two pieces were made by two different 19th-century Japanese kilns mimicking the exact same design:The right piece is potted from high-quality white Arita porcelain, showing a textbook orange line of iron oxidation where the glaze meets the unglazed foot ring.The left piece is an earthenware/stoneware provincial version (likely Awaji or Kyoto kiln) featuring a cream-beige clay body with a distinct, naturally aged fine crackle glaze on the underside.Both dishes are beautifully hand-painted with underglaze cobalt blue and vibrant iron-red highlights depicting birds among floral branches.Condition Report:Good antique condition. No structural body cracks or restorations. Along the rims, there are a few tiny, minor glaze flakes/flea bites (minimal chip fritting). The surface displays minor, light glaze scratches and minimal surface glaze hairlines (glaze crazing), which are completely consistent with the age and authentic use of 19th-century tableware. Typical inherent kiln firing flaws.
