Antique "Bombay Japan" Imari Style Scalloped Serving Platter / Cake Plate Item Overview: A stunning antique Victorian-era serving plate featuring a vibrant, hand-finished "Bombay Japan" transferware pattern. This piece is a classic example of the English "Gaudy Imari" style, characterized by deep cobalt blues, burnt orange/rust tones, and subtle gilded highlights on a cream-colored ground. Design Details: • Pattern: "Bombay Japan" – an intricate floral design featuring a central bonsai-style flowering tree and oversized blossoms. • Shape: Elegant scalloped rim with molded, raised "scroll" handles. • Backstamp: Features a blue floral urn mark with "BOMBAY JAPAN" and a pattern number. There is also a hand-painted iron-red painter's mark ("1607 E") and an impressed "2," indicating the craftsman or batch. • Color Palette: Traditional Imari colors: Cobalt Blue, Rust Orange, and White/Cream. Condition Report: • Visual Appeal: The colors remain exceptionally bright and the glaze has a high-shine finish. • Crazing: Authentic age-related fine crazing (crackling of the glaze) is present across the entire piece, which is typical and expected for earthenware of this age. • Wear: There is some minor. Perfect For: Collectors of Staffordshire ironstone, lovers of Chinoiserie/Aesthetic Movement decor, or as a striking centerpiece for a traditional afternoon tea service.
