Set of four antique Japanese Imari porcelain fluted bowls. Imari is a style of porcelain named after the Japanese port from which it was shipped from, beginning in the late 17th century. The Imari palette revolved around three main colors--the blue underglaze, a rusty reddish-orange, and a brilliant gold.

Imari-ware took its design cues from colorful Japanese textiles of the day such as exotic landscapes and birds. Please note: For decorative use only. Stand not included. Age wear.
