Vintage Sakura Miyako
Imari Ware
Japanese Porcelain Covered Bowl w/ Lid MINT
Description:
Imari ware, also called Arita ware, is Japanese porcelain made at the Arita kilns in Hizen province. Among the Arita porcelains are white glazed wares, pale gray-blue or gray-green glazed wares known as celadons, black wares, and blue-and-white wares with underglaze painting, as well as overglaze enamels.
The most frequent Imari palette revolved around three main colors—the blue underglaze, plus a rusty reddish-orange and a brilliant gold.
Specifically:  This bowl has two floral patterns alternating around the outer circumference in four distinct panels.  The matching lid displays bamboo trees, a variety of flowers and what looks like cherry blossoms w/ fruit.  Lavish use of gold in the graphic as well as the rim trim enhances the already bright colors.
Whether for yourself or as a gift to someone special, this is one of those items that will be cherished for a long, long time.
