Description
A very beautiful Ko-Imari plate in Japanese porcelain, produced in Arita, in the former Hizen province.
A 19th-century piece, late Edo / early Meiji period, representative of these productions that are both decorative and accessible.
Its slightly lobed shape, with a scalloped rim, gives it an elegant presence while remaining simple and balanced. This type of silhouette captures light well and highlights the decoration.
The decoration is organized around large aka-e red areas, punctuated with floral reserves and naturalistic scenes. It features stylized flowers and a small rabbit (usagi), a typical motif in Japanese imagery related to seasons and nature.
In the center, a sometsuke blue medallion presents a dense floral decoration, finely executed. The contrast between the underglaze blue and the brighter colors adds rhythm without weighing down the overall design.
The balance is successful: a decorative, lively plate, yet easy to integrate, whether as wall decoration or for tableware.
The absence of a mark on the reverse is common for late Edo / early Meiji productions and does not detract from the interest of the piece.
🦝 Our opinion
A very beautiful Ko-Imari plate, with a typical decoration and a very pleasing shape.
We love the little usagi rabbit! A simple, effective, and charming antique Imari porcelain.

By purchasing from Kogedo, you are helping to keep traditional Japanese crafts and culture alive.
