These 19th-century Japanese Imari porcelain plates feature hand-painted underglaze blue decoration. Each plate displays a central medallion depicting a pair of long-tailed birds, such as peacocks or cranes, within a garden landscape of stylized rocks and flowering plants. The rim is adorned with a complex border of alternating panels containing geometric diaper patterns and floral sprays within cartouches. The form consists of circular plates with a shallow well and a molded, slightly scalloped rim. There are no maker’s marks on the underside, though the reverse of the rim is decorated with simple hand-painted blue floral and scroll motifs. Dimensions: Diameter: 8.5 inches.
Condition report:
