MORE ABOUT IMARI WARE: Imari is a style of porcelain named after the Japanese port from which it was shipped to the West, beginning in the late 17th century. The town now known as Arita, which became a center for porcelain. Imari ware (also called Japan or Japan ware), took its design cues from colorful of the day. Exotic landscapes, gnarled trees, long-winged birds such as cranes, and depictions of courtesans in exquisitely detailed are just a few examples of the most common Imari imagery. The most frequent Imari palette revolved around three main colorsthe blue underglaze, plus a rusty reddish-orange and a brilliant gold. By the early 18th century, China was flooding the export market with inexpensive Chinese Imari of its own, making Japanese Imari prohibitively costly in the West.
