A pair of Japanese Imari ancient vessel form vases in blues and reds, covered with prunus and lattice designs, circa 1920.
The Imari pattern, originating from the Japanese town of Arita in the 17th century, is renowned for its vibrant designs featuring intricate florals, nature scenes, and mythical elements. Traditionally, Imari ceramics combine bold colours like cobalt blue, iron red, and gold, creating a striking contrast. Exported to Europe through the port of Imari, this style became highly sought after and influenced European porcelain makers. Imari patterns remain celebrated for their elegance, craftsmanship, and cultural richness.
