Plate Ko-Imari – Porselein – Armorial Van der Meij – Japan – Edo Periode (1600-1868)

Japanese Ko-Imari Plate, Edo period (ca 1740)A finely painted Japanese porcelain plate, decorated in vibrant enamels and gold with a central armorial design depicting a shield and crest surrounded by scrolling floral ornamentation. The composition is framed by a rich border of foliate motifs, characteristic of high-quality Arita export wares produced for the European market. The harmonious balance of colour and gilding reflects the refined aesthetic of mid-Edo period porcelain craftsmanship.The coat of arms is that of the Van der Meij family of Dordrecht, suggesting the plate was specially commissioned for export to the Netherlands, where armorial porcelain was highly prized among merchant families engaged in East-West trade. Although Japanese armorial porcelain is much rarer than Chinese. https://prf.hn/click/camref:1101l5d7f/creativeref:1101l154331/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fcbgfamiliewapens.nl%2Fzoeken%3Fview%3Ddetail%26id%3D41401080-7dbb-485e-8d9a-619fa24a9d29 Comparable examples are preserved in major museum collections, including the:Metropolitan Museum of Art, Armorial Plate, accession no. 49338https://prf.hn/click/camref:1101l5d7f/creativeref:1101l154331/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.metmuseum.org%2Fart%2Fcollection%2Fsearch%2F49338British Museum, Dish, inventory no.
