Pair of Japanese Imari Ware Trays

Imari porcelain, named after the port in Japan from which it was exported, has captivated collectors and connoisseurs since the 17th century. Originally produced in the Arita region, these finely crafted ceramics became highly desirable in Europe for their vibrant palette and intricate decorative motifs.

Traditional Imari ware is characterized by a striking combination of underglaze cobalt blue with overglaze red, gold, and additional colors, often forming elaborate scenes that include floral arrangements, landscapes, and mythological elements. While inspired by earlier Chinese porcelain styles, Imari porcelain developed its own distinctly Japanese aesthetic, blending cultural symbolism with exquisite craftsmanship.

Today, Imari porcelain is recognized not only for its historical significance but also for its decorative elegance, making it a highly prized collectible in both Eastern and Western markets.
