ERA: unknown, unmarked either in the style of Early Imari or pre 1650
FACTS & HISTORY: "Early Imari" (shoki imari) is a traditional and somewhat confusing term used for very different wares that were made around Arita before about 1650. The porcelains are generally small and sparsely painted in underglaze blue for the domestic market, but there are also some large green celadon dishes, apparently made for the southeast Asian market, in a porcelaneous stoneware.
