19th-Century Scalloped Edge Japanese Imari Plates

An exquisite pair of 19th-century Japanese Imari porcelain plates, each showcasing the artistry and color mastery that defined Japan’s most celebrated export porcelain. The scalloped rims and rich iron-red grounds are hand-painted with phoenix and floral motifs, accented in cobalt blue and emerald green, reflecting the dynamic balance of nature and myth found in Edo-period design.

Unsigned, as was typical of early Imari, these plates display the confident brushwork and layered glazing associated with fine Arita kilns. A stunning display set for collectors of Asian ceramics—or as dramatic serving pieces on a festive table.
