About Gold Imari

Gold Imari was a brand used in the mid to late 20th century for Japanese export porcelain, inspired by traditional Imari ware from the Edo period. Known for its bold colours and intricate hand-painted designs, Gold Imari was made for decorative purposes rather than everyday use. Though no longer in production, these pieces remain highly sought after for their beauty and craftsmanship.

Collectability

Gold Imari porcelain is valued by collectors for its artistry, quality, and hand-painted designs. Pieces with intact gold detailing and vibrant colours are especially desirable. This jar is a fine example of mid-century Japanese porcelain, making it an excellent collector’s item or a statement décor piece.

How This Item Was Made

Each Gold Imari piece was hand-painted by skilled artisans, following the centuries-old Imari ware style. The designs were carefully applied over a high-gloss glaze, with gold accents hand-painted last to preserve their brightness. The porcelain was then kiln-fired, ensuring a durable, long-lasting finish.
