Hello and Welcome to

Treasures from Westchester, New York!

For sale is a wonderful sometsuke, blue and white Japanese porcelain large 12\" plate. This is a one hundred year old + platter dating to the Meiji era. (1868-1912). It is a very well done Inban plate with the motif of phoenix\'s, flowers and many types of foliage. This superb plate is quality old porcelain of Imari. It is in a very good condition with no cracks, chips or crazing. It has been well cared for and my pictures do not do it justice.

\"Igezara\" is a term applied to heavy, durable everyday porcelain produced in Japan from about the end of the Edo Period (mid 1800\'s) until early Taisho (early 1900\'s) in Arita, Saga in Kyushu, or in Gifu. Fine porcelain such as the colorful Imari and Kutani were hand painted whereas \"igezara\" items were produced by a technique that transferred a design after which the plate was glazed. The name \"igezara\" comes from two Japanese words...\"ige\" means \"notch or thorn\" and the term refers to the pie-like indentations around the rim of many of the plates. \"Zara\" or \"sara\" means \"plate\" in Japanese. \"Igezara\" were thus mass produced for everyday use though only limited numbers have survived today. Whereas many items of Imari and Kutani were produced for the export market, \"igezara\" were made primarily for the Japanese market.

from Gotheborg\'s: Igezara pieces with \"piecrust\", \"scalloped\" or \"notched\" rim. Ige is a Saga prefecture dialect for thorn. Zara = dish. When these came out of the kiln, the pinched areas were \'sharp as thorns\' before being smoothed down. Thus Igezara = Thorn plates. The form is very common in the Meiji (1868-1913) and Taisho period (1913-1926) and particularly associated with printed patterns.

Igezara was made for the common man and usually thickly potted so withstand wear and tear and daily use. The generally accepted period Igezara was made is 1880 - 1910 but may have had some early and late examples.
