Condition Report: Overall Condition Perfect. Size approx. 338x58mm
Large and amazing charger with a scene of deer between flowers (red maple). This Ko Imari but is also called Ai Kakiemon, the variant of Kakiemon without colors. Chenghua marked at the base.
Very cool detail is that this item still has the spur marks in full at the base. Normally these spur marks are removed but this dish still has them. Amazing.
Spur Marks;
Spur marks are the bits of clay or depressions left where the piece sat on kiln supports in the sagger when fired. Also ‘kiln support marks’. The firing supports were used to support glazed wares in the kiln to prevent them from warping, sagging or sticking to whatever they would have sat on otherwise in the kiln during firing. These marks are found on the base surfaces, at or within the foot rims of dishes bowls, large jars etc.
On Japanese porcelain, virtually every larger piece of export porcelain from the mid 18th century to the mid 19th century will be found to have one or several spur marks. Around the 1850’s the number of spurs were reduced to mostly only one after which the practice was gradually phased out. The need arose from the Japanese working with a different clay more prune to warping than the Chinese, while trying to satisfy the export demand for thinner and more refined wares.
