Large Japanese Circular Dodecagon Form Imari Deep Cabinet Bowl or Centerpiece of outstanding quality and generous proportions, made during the last half of the Nineteenth Century possibly from the Koransha Potteries.
Extensively hand decorated with all over typical decorative Imari style palette in colours of iron red and dark blues on an off-white ground with a very seldom found twelve-sided rimmed edge. The central reserve is beautifully enhanced with a central star shape surrounded with scrolling detail in colours of varying blues.
Condition: Superb condition for such an early piece with no restoration anywhere, the entire rims are perfect, very light evidence of gentle use. This piece is unmarked.
Height: 3” (7.5cm). Diameter: 13” (32.5cm).
