"Imari ware" is a general term for hand decorated polychrome enamel porcelain from the Arita region of Saga Prefecture. Imari, in Japanese, Ko-Imari, is a style of porcelain with polychrome enamel with five typical color glazes, including red, cobalt blue, green, yellow/orange, and grey, sometimes with gold and silver, painted on cobalt underglaze bodies. Imari appears in many styles, often invented by potter families. These styles are named after their inventors or after the region where they are produced.<p>

This plate is red, blue, orange, peach, and green on the cobalt underglaze porcelain. The plate is in the chrysanthemum shape with a scalloped edge. It is 12 inches in diameter with a 5 1/2-inch base. The back of the plate is marked with repeated versions of the fruit and flower symbols in cobalt.<p>

The plate's design includes six (6) panels of alternating size (one larger and the next smaller) around a central medallion. The decor includes stylized geometric shapes, fruits, and flowers, and there is a vase of flowers in the center. Some of the decor is not literal in nature, such as cobalt-encircled areas of color, and includes traditional Japanese good luck symbols.<p>

The plate is attached to a wall hanger and is in excellent condition!<p>

This is a great find for the Imari porcelain collector!
