About the Item

A large and impressive Japanese Arita porcelain charger dating to circa 1870, during the early Meiji period. The charger is distinguished by its exceptionally strong underglaze cobalt-blue decoration, executed in a classical Japanese and Chinese-inspired style. The composition is restrained yet highly effective, with stylised peony decoration creating an almost abstract quality across the substantial porcelain surface. At 45 cm in diameter, the charger has considerable decorative presence. The seller particularly highlights the quality and depth of the cobalt colouring and compares the general type with examples represented in the Shibata Collection of Arita porcelain. An impressive example of 19th-century Japanese porcelain, particularly suited to wall display. presentation on a large stand.
