JAPANESE IMARI / CERAMICS

Our collection of ceramics ranges from delicate hand painted imari bowls to large Chinese ceramic water containers that work great as decorative planters. We will confidently ship these items worldwide, double boxing to guard against breakage.  We have Japanese ceremonial sake jugs, large covered soup tureens, lidded rice bowls, and delicate sake cups  that all make interesting accent pieces.  Sake jugs can be converted into lamps or used as decorative pieces.  Our collection includes pieces of Japanese stoneware from various kilns.  Imari is a blanket term used to describe a wide variety of Japanese ceramics including those with blue and white glazed designs, and akaimari refers multicolored imari ceramics.

Please click on the images to see larger versions, and email us if you would like to see detailed pictures on any of these fine plates and bowls, or have questions about the age / condition etc.  They almost all have some degree of surface wear as is to be expected of pieces this age.   They all date to around the Meiji Period (1868-1912) and are hand painted except where noted.

We also have teacups, sake cups & tokkuri, soba cups and other small ceramic items from the Satsuma and Kutani kilns.  Please inquire for our current selection.
