ANTIQUE IMARI OZARA

SOMETSUKE SEIJI

LARGE SQUARE PLATTER

 19th century

JAPAN

A fine Imari large square dish or platter

with Celadon glaze accents called

Seiji Sometsuke or Sometsuke-Seiji

porcelain.

Sometsuke refers to the underglaze

 and overglaze blues, and Seiji is the word

 for the celadon glaze component and 

ozara is a platter larger than 10 inches.

This decorative technique was originally

created by Imari, Arita craftsmen around

 the years 1720 through 1750.

The technique is unique to Japan, unlike

 Chinese and Korean celadon pieces,

 this particular style of decorating was

created to achieve a ‘fresh’ look to this

porcelain with this combination of

blue (Sometsuke) patterns and the

 sublime Celadon (Seiji) green glaze.

This large square dish or plate is

also decorated underneath and

has a strong kodai (foot rim).

The base mark we believe is an

abbreviated Qianlong Period mark.

Mid to late 19th Century.

Imari porcelain is the name for Japanese

 porcelain wares made in the town

of Arita, in the former Hizen Province,

 northwestern Kyūshū which were

 exported to Europe extensively

 from the port of Imari.

This is a particularly fine example of

19th century Imari porcelain.

The colours are vibrant and strong

 and the mark to the back is very clear.

CONDITION 

There are virtually no faults to this

 beautiful plate.

No chips, cracks, or crazing and

just a handful of very light short surface

marks to the glossy glaze which 

are insignificant to say the least. 

The only part that shows it has age is

underneath on the carved foot rim or kodai  

 on which it has been resting for the last

 150 years or thereabouts.

DIMENSIONS

It measures approximately:- 

27.5 cm (10 7/8“) square 

by 5 cm (2“) high or deep 

It weighs approx:- 1445 grams
