Description
A large Japanese porcelain charger featuring a scalloped rim and a traditional Imari palette of underglaze cobalt blue, overglaze iron-red enamel, and green accents with gilt highlights. The central medallion depicts a hanakago or flower basket overflowing with botanical sprigs, framed by a wide border divided into radiating panels. These panels alternate between floral sprigs in cartouches and circular vignettes containing stylized figures or creatures against an iron-red ground. The reverse of the plate is decorated with three underglaze blue motifs on the rim resembling stylized scrolls or ribbons. The base is finished with a circular foot rim showing some kiln grit and firing imperfections.
Diameter: 28.5 cm.
