A great and large sized dish dating to first half of the 17th century, Part of the Shoki Imari family.

Shoki Imari – early Imari ware- was first developed in the early 17th century, in the city of Arita located in the west of Kyushu Island, Japan. Its basic form, techniques and texture are similar to those of Korean porcelain as Korean technicians were the first to find porcelain materials in Arita and consequently started porcelain ware production in Japan. During this time a large quantity of blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen, China was being imported. Jingdezhen pottery, recognisable by its thin and sharp forms, had been in demand from the Japanese upper class since the 16th century. Blue and white pottery decorated with a variety of vivid blue motifs was particularly popular.

Shoki Imari potters, the first of whom were Korean technicians, largely produced white porcelain without blue decoration. They were influenced by the decorative motifs in Jingdezhen porcelain which they adapted for their own work. Earlier Imari period, c. 1610-1630s, porcelain ware borrowed motifs from the Chinese pictures books Bazhong Huapu (Hasshu Gafu) and Tuhui Congyi (Zue Soui). This mix of influences from the picture books and Jingdezhen porcelain resulted in the unique design of Shoki Imari ware.

These kind of dishes are quite known in smaller sizes, but this size is not know by us.
