A decorative Imari-style porcelain miniature pot, inspired by the classic Crown Derby churn form. Decorated in a traditional Imari palette of cobalt blue, iron-red/orange, green enamels and gilt, with stylised floral and branching motifs and a deep cobalt-blue rim band. The piece has two pierced lug handles with heart-shaped cut-outs and an iron-red/orange overglaze mark to the base. Made for display rather than functional use.
History and details
Imari-style decoration was widely copied for export and decorative use, drawing on Japanese porcelain traditions and popular European forms. This miniature example appears to be a late 20th-century decorative piece intended for cabinet display.
