Imari style plate. Japan, middle of the 20th century. Glazed porcelain. Measurements: 4 x 27 cm (diameter). Japanese circular porcelain dish, decorated in the Imari style, whose main characteristic is the use of underglaze cobalt blue glaze, combined with other glazes over the glaze, mainly iron red. Imari ware was produced in Japan from the third quarter of the 17th century until 1730-35, although there was a revival of the style during the 19th century. At the decorative level, the Imari is very free, with compositions that occupy the entire space of the piece, generally asymmetrical, combining different motifs and gussets of various shapes, as we see here.
