Ita J. Howe
Chinese Imari
Primarily made during the early
eighteenth century, this unique porcelain, inspired by Japanese Imari,
was very different from traditional Chinese porcelain. It imitated the
Japanese through the use of color, especially the use of red. Designs
mostly included floral motifs. The blue is underglaze and the gold and
iron red (rouge de fer) is overglaze.
