Mounted Imari Porcelain Perfume Fountain

About the Item

Perfume fountain in porcelain Imari kinrandé mounted in gilt bronze from the same set of porcelain. The cup and the bowl form the base, the pot covers the perfume container. Blue under-cover decoration with gold highlights of interlacing lotus flowers. On each of the ceramic pieces, two four-lobed spaces and sides with floral motifs (pine, yellow and red lycoris, carnation, phlox moss, bamboo) and two foxes. Top of the pot with a chrysanthemum pattern. The inside of the fountain has a band with the same blue decoration and golden interlacing with medallions of peonies. Symbolic marks above the foot and inside the perfume container. Chiseled gilt bronze frame, dragon-shaped tap. The imari kinrandé or "imari of brocades" made its appearance in Japan at the end of the 17th century. It is characterized by the quality of its paste, and the richness of the abundant (even loaded) decorations delimited in symmetrical zones leaving few free surfaces. The blue color, under cover, is systematic and is associated with red, green and gold. This style lasted until the 19th century, becoming more sober with time. It is very successful in the West and is copied to perfection in China. Chinese copies, to which our fountain belongs, began in the 1720s at the request of the Dutch in order to compete with the Japanese production which had become too expensive. In this sense, Japanese exports of Imari kinrandé declined in favor of China from the 1730s, especially under Qianlong (1736-1795). The most beautiful pieces generally came from the furnaces of Jingdezhen.
