Imari Vintage Japanese Plate

This stunning large Japanese Imari-style porcelain charger plate showcases traditional hand-painted decoration with a vibrant mix of cobalt blue, iron red, green, and gilt accents. The central medallion features an intricate blue floral design, while the outer panels depict alternating scenic and patterned motifs, including figures, landscapes, and stylized florals framed by geometric borders.

The plate measures approximately 21 inches in diameter and is crafted in fine porcelain with hand-applied enamels. The reverse is decorated with soft blue floral sprays, characteristic of Japanese export wares. The style suggests a mid-20th century production, likely post-WWII (1950s–1970s), when Japanese kilns revived traditional Imari designs for export markets.
