How can you tell real Imari?
1 Answer
Imari is a Japanese style of porcelain that originated in the 1600s. The earliest forms are blue and white and are simpler in design than later pieces, which feature intricate designs that often depict flowers, animals or symbolic objects. Many Imari pieces include Japanese character marks or signatures. Experts recommend working with a certified appraiser to authenticate any antique porcelain item. You’ll find a selection of authentic Imari porcelain on 1stDibs.
