About the Item

An elegant French Louis XVI style Japonisme centerpiece comprised of a large 19th century Meiji Period Japanese Imari Porcelain bowl with French gilt metal ormolu mounts, late 19th-early 20th century, France and Japan. The 19th century Meiji Period Imari bowl of nice scale, with high walls and a slightly everted rim, and decorated in a traditional Imari palette of underglaze blue and white, over-glaze orange and green enamels, and gilt highlights. The bowl designed with a geometric pattern of stylized pine bark with large peony blossoms and stylized brocade balls. The ormolu mounts finely cast, comprising of a footed base and scalloped and rim with attached pair of handles. The everted rim of the bowl fitted with an ormolu scalloped and pierced everted rim. A pair of handles flare dramatically outwards with an undulating design emulating the writhing bodies of dragons, terminating in large ruyi (nyoi), similar to the fleur-de-lis. The centerpiece is raised on an ormolu base, with the gilt feet wonderfully cast as charming and playful dragons chasing each other and holding sprigs of reishi - the fungus of immortality - in their mouths.
