Pair of 18th-Century Chinese Export Imari Porcelain Plates with Floral Motifs This offering comprises a pair of exquisite 18th-century Chinese Export Imari porcelain plates, each with a diameter of 22 centimeters. The plates feature the characteristic Imari colour palette, with rich cobalt blue, vibrant iron red, and gold accents. The elaborate decoration embodies traditional Imari design, showcasing floral motifs and intricate patterns. Both plates display a scalloped edge, enhancing their aesthetic appeal. The front of one plate reveals a white centre with delicate blue floral patterns around the rim, while the other is similarly adorned with blue flowers encircling a plain centre. The backside of the plates shows signs of age and wear, including slight staining and blue floral designs near the centre and edges. Despite minor imperfections, these plates are a notable example of Chinese Imari ware, prized for their historical and artistic significance.
