PAIR OF JAPANESE PLATES

Porcelain plates in the Imari style, richly decorated with both underglaze and overglaze painting in the typical palette of cobalt blue and iron red. The central area features a trio of stylized motifs – resembling a fan, an apple, and a cloud – surrounded by floral and fruit scrolls. The border of the plates is divided into alternating red and white facets, each adorned with palmette perforations and floral motifs. The plates are characterized by their strong ornamentality and decorative harmony, typical of Japanese porcelain production in the 18th century.

Defect: wear in the paint, a chip on one of the plates.
