WHAT ARE IMARI CANDLESTICKS?
Imari candlesticks are candle holders
made in the style of Imari porcelain.
Imari porcelain is a type of Japanese porcelain
that was first produced in the town of Arita
in the late 17th century.
The porcelain was highly prized
for its beautiful, intricate designs
that were inspired by traditional Japanese motifs,
such as flowers, birds, and landscapes.
Imari candlesticks typically feature the same type
of intricate designs as other Imari porcelain pieces,
and are often decorated with underglaze
blue, iron red, and gold,
along with other colours
such as yellow, manganese brown, green, and turquoise.
The candlesticks may also be inscribed
with Chinese reign marks,
a common practice among potters at the time.
Imari candlesticks are highly collectible
and sought after by porcelain collectors around the world.
They are prized for their exceptional quality
and beautiful designs,
and are often displayed as decorative pieces
in homes and museums.
