Ko Imari Blue and White Plate, Japan 18th Century

A fine 18th century Japanese Ko Imari porcelain plate, featuring the classic underglaze blue and white palette that became a hallmark of the Arita kilns. The fluid hand-painted floral motifs and characteristically distorted form speak to the historical production techniques and the artisanal charm of early Japanese porcelain.

Circa 1750, this original period piece was crafted during a golden age of Japanese export, when these wares were treasured as white gold by collectors across the globe.

Hand-painted porcelain featuring an indigo-dyed design under a transparent glaze, with a slightly gritty, unglazed footring. Rooted in the Japanese Arita tradition, this plate reflects the refined craftsmanship and elegant simplicity that defined the Edo period's contribution to world ceramics.
