Description
A large Imperial Imari display plate with a flower cart and pink peonies at its centre. Three peacock panels alternate with burgundy floral medallions against a navy lattice.
The black reverse label names Prof. Toshio Mitumura and identifies the plate as part of the Imperial Imari Limited Collectors Series. It describes the piece as a reproduction made with imperial permission, interpreting a design from a work in the Japanese Imperial Collection that the label dates to the 16th century. The alternating panels give the broad border a measured rhythm around the central scene, with the peacocks introducing a second focus beyond the flower cart. The historic date belongs to the source design described on the label, not to this later collector’s plate. Related decorative pieces appear in the East Asian & Inspired Collectibles and Ceramics collections.
