About the Item

Exceptional contemporary Japanese Ko-Imari style large decorative porcelain charger, hand painted in gold, blue, green, pink, cream and red, a signed masterpiece by widely acclaimed award-winning master porcelain artist of the Imari-Arita region of Japan. In 2016, the British Museum added a work by this artist to its collection of contemporary Japanese porcelain in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. This artist is the recipient of numerous awards for his notable porcelain work and his unique gold and platinum work on porcelain. The artist's profile is available upon request. This captivating charger in Ko-Imari style dramatically showcases a kirin, a mythical Chinese giraffe, and the "sho-chiku-bai" motif. The auspicious "Sho-chiku-bai" or "The Three Friends of Winter" is a cherished theme with a long history in Japan and China. It literally means pine, bamboo and plum. Pine and bamboo that can withstand the wind and snow and extreme cold, and the plum that blooms ahead of other plants in spring are symbolic of longevity, nobility. A wide striking band with a flower motif showcasing Peonies, Chrysanthemums, Pine trees, Bamboo, Plum blossoms and Cranes decorates the rim of the charger. from the latter half of the 17th century to the latter half of the 18th century all porcelain pieces produced in the kilns in Hizen region of southern Japan were exported from the port of Imari to European countries . For this reason Hizen ceramics were called Imari (and later referred to as Ko-Imari meaning Old Imari) inside and outside the country, adopting the name of the port. The colors are deep, and red and gold paints are used luxuriously. Ko-Imari reflects the spirit of the Genroku era, which was economically abundant. Ko-Imari porcelain exported to Europe was prized by being displayed in royal palaces and aristocratic mansions. This graceful style that fascinated Europe in the 17th century still continues to adorn many of today's Imari-Arita porcelain. “Fired-on gold,” his signature style highlights unique techniques for incorporating gold and platinum into the hand painting and multiple firing processes that yield a stunningly opulent look. The polychrome overglaze is fired at 800 degrees, followed by the application of gold and platinum that are fired at slightly lower temperature to maintain the luster of the precious metals. As a result, a single piece may undergo as many as 5-10 firings. His profile is available upon request. This striking large decorative porcelain charger includes a stand and comes in a custom made wooden box signed by the artist. Dimensions: D 18 in, H 2 in.

Antique 18th Century Chinese Porcelain Plate with Regency Style Overdecorating
Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland
A very nicely made piece of 18th century porcelain decorated with a beautiful scene. Underglaze blue and overglaze other enamels done later in Europe. We have also added a picture of how a similar original Blue and white dish would have looked like. This is an example of British overdecoration.Provenance:Provenance: Doyle Sep 27, 2024 11:00 Boston Collects, Lot 1083 Six Chinese Porcelain Table Items 18th and 19th centuries Estate / Collection: Property of a Jamestown, Rhode Island Collector Often seen as ugly and black sheep of the porcelain world. British 1810-1820 Clobbered wares deserve better as they are historically very interesting. So lets call them George the IV or Regency Taste redecorated porcelain. And leave the clobbered behind us as it does no justice to what they are at all. Its not that because we live in a time were these super funky colours are out of taste that we should hate on these pieces. A short history! During the early 19th century, the Prince Regent (later King George IV) played a key role in cultivating a taste for the exotic Orient among the British elite, influencing interior design during the Regency era. His lavish projects, such as the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, epitomized this fascination. The Pavilion, with its blend of Indian, Chinese, and Gothic elements, became a symbol of the Prince’s extravagant taste. The interiors featured Chinese wallpaper, Indian textiles, and oriental furniture, reflecting the era’s growing interest in Chinoiserie and other oriental-inspired designs. This trend extended to the decorative arts, where clobbered Chinese porcelain—originally blue-and-white pieces—was reimagined with bright reds, golds, greens, and dragons to cater to the new European tastes. These colorful repainted pieces symbolized wealth, sophistication, and an affinity for the exotic, perfectly complementing the bold and opulent interiors of the time. The dragon, a powerful symbol in Chinese culture, was a recurring motif in these porcelain pieces, further aligning with the Regency’s romanticized view of the Orient. George IV’s penchant for luxury, eccentricity, and vibrant decoration influenced the wider aristocratic society, and clobbered porcelain...
