| A Chinese imari teapot and cover dating from the K'ang Hsi period of the Qing Dynasty ( Middle Period, 1662-1722). The piece is of rounded form with a dome shaped cover, the body is ribbed and decorated with peonies and chrysanthemums. Height: 4 3/8" inches, diameter of the body is 3 5/8" and the width including the handle and spout is 5 1/2". Condition is excellent with no restorations, nicks or chips. Japanese Imari porcelain was first produced in the Genroku period c.1700 It was characterised by the striking use of underglaze blue, red and gilt, and occasionally green enamels. When it came to the attention of the Chinese at Jindezhen that these wares were extremely popular in Europe, they began to produce Imari wares in competition with the Japanese. The first Chinese Imari pieces were produced during the K'ang Hsi period (1662-1722). As a generalisation the Chinese Imari pieces are much more finely potted and have a thinner and more even glaze. The Japanese glaze is often crackled and on the inside of vases the glaze is clearly seen to have run. Chinese Imari in general has a much finer quality underglaze blue. | |||||||||||
