    Description

    A beautiful Ko-Imari plate in Japanese porcelain, produced in Arita, in the former province of Hizen.
    A piece from the late Edo / early Meiji transition, still strongly influenced by the Edo taste for masterful decoration.

    The golden background, deep and luminous, is decorated with several sakura cherry trees with sinuous branches and stylized white flowers, typical of old Imari. The whole is enhanced by large aka-e red medallions.

    In the center, a blue underglaze painted dragon occupies the main medallion. Its design is almost ethereal, bringing movement and beautiful depth to the composition.

    The balance between the gold, red, blue, and touches of green is remarkable: rich without being cluttered, decorative and very elegant.

    Potter's mark: the kanji 富 (tomi or fuku)

    On the reverse of the plate is the kanji 富, meaning "wealth" or "prosperity". This character, painted as a maker's mark, is attributed to a historic kiln active in Arita under the name Setoguchi Tomiemon.

    About the 富 mark:

    Used at the end of the Edo period and during the Meiji era (circa 1800–1900),
    Identified in early works on Japanese porcelain marks (e.g. Bowes, 1882),
    Typical of quality craftsmanship, intended for both the local market and export.

    This mark adds additional value to this piece, as a trace of a renowned workshop, emblematic of the Arita tradition.

    🦝 Our opinion

    A superb Ko-imari plate that beautifully represents the Edo/Meiji transition style. We love the sakura with their hundreds of flowers and the dragon flying in the center!
