Antique Japanese Imari Porcelain Bowl Wabi-Sabi Edo - Meiji Era 1800s Scalloped

Antique Japanese Imari Porcelain Bowl – Edo to Meiji Era (c. 1850–1880) A refined example of mid-19th century Japanese porcelain, this hand-painted Imari bowl exemplifies the elegance and charm of the late Edo to early Meiji aesthetic. The bowl features a scalloped rim and is richly decorated with traditional cobalt blue underglaze, complemented by iron red and green overglaze enamels. Its floral medallion center is encircled by vibrant foliate motifs, executed with expressive brushwork and time-softened lines. Measuring approximately 7 inches across, this piece was most likely intended for domestic use—unmarked, as was common for the period prior to Japan’s export boom. The surface exhibits the expected irregularities of 19th-century kiln craftsmanship: pinholing, glaze pooling, and subtle wear that speaks to generations of appreciation and utility. A timeless collector’s piece, equally at home in a display cabinet or curated wabi-sabi setting.
