Chinese Export Imari Porcelain

1/27/2016

 
Chinese export porcelain is a perennial favorite among collectors and designers alike and those pieces decorated in the Imari style are held in high regard.  Copying the popular Japanese model, this porcelain  emerged in the early 18th century and  is distinctive for its decoration in underglaze blue with overglaze iron red and gilt enameling. It differs from the Japanese in execution. It is more finely potted and is more naturalistic in decoration.
