The item pictured is a vintage Japanese Imperial Imari soup tureen and platter, which is a type of Arita ware porcelain. It is a brightly colored style of Japanese export porcelain that was popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Style: Typically decorated in underglaze blue, with red, gold, and sometimes other colors added in overglaze enamel.
Manufacturer: This specific pattern, known as "Gold Imari," was produced by Otagiri.
Availability: These items are often found at estate sales and through replacement services for china patterns.
Identification: The name "Imari" comes from the port in Japan from which the porcelain was shipped to Nagasaki for export.
This item was purchased about 1970. There are multiple other Gold Imari items in my postings. I will consider a discount for purchasing multiple Imari items.
The tureen was purchased around 1970. The small bowls are available in another of my postings. I will consider a discount on multiple Imari purchases.
There is no ladle for the tureen. The original ladle was plain white porcelain.
