Lot Details
A/F D 220mm One w Rim Chip Possibly Kangxi Period The earliest Chinese Imari emerged towards the end of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1662-1722) and remained in vogue until the mid-18th century. Generally, Chinese Imari pieces are more finely crafted and feature a thinner, more uniform glaze compared to their Japanese counterparts. The red enamels in Chinese Imari are usually thinner and more translucent than the darker, fuller reds of Japanese pieces. Additionally, the underglaze blue in Chinese Imari tends to be brighter and clearer than that found in Japanese versions.
