Japanese Imari

Antique Lamp – a Rare Chinese Imari Lamp Circa 1750

Imari porcelain is the name understood in the West as Japanese porcelain made at Arita and exported through the port of Imari.  From the mid 17th century the Dutch East India Company monopolised the lucrative export trade, supplying the insatiable European demand for porcelain.

It came to the attention of the Chinese porcelain makers at the vast Imperial kilns at Jingdezhen that Japanese Imari porcelain was in high demand in Europe.  The Chinese makers were quick to realise the commercial success of the Japanese Imari style of decoration and by the early 18th century were producing a Chinese version of the Japanese Imari style

Chinese-Imari pieces are typically less decorated than the Japanese originals with more white porcelain showing.  Japanese Imari is usually all-over decorated, producing a much more “busy” style, however, in general, Chinese-Imari examples are more finely potted with a thinner more even glaze.  The colour palette follows the traditional Japanese original, Rouge de Fer, or, Iron red, under glaze cobalt blue and gilding

A rare mid 18th century, Chinese-Imari, baluster shaped  table lamp.

The lamp very finely decorated in the traditional palette of Imari enamels, iron red and under glaze cobalt blue with touches of pale salmon, a typical colour range of the period.

The decorative subject of oriental flowers with a large central Peony.

The lamp on a finely turned maple wood stand, water gilded to a satin finish 

A very beautiful, mid 18th century lamp.

Ch’ien Lung Reign – Circa 1750   Overall height (including shade) 23?/59cm

Can anyone translate these chinese & japanese symbols?

I have a few old plates with only japanese on them, would appreciate any help from someone who can decipher these symbols.

http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=kdngn2dt0it

http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=ngyfmlamnmw

This is different plate, this is the only mark on it:

http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=ynvoo4olrem

Wooden carved / painted mandarin ducks (i think this is chinese)

http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=iyz5zqdidoj

Japanese imari plate

http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=xykyrztzhly

That’s all
you have my gratitude!

1) http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=xuun2mudyzz
The words written in Xiaozhuan style on the first plate are supposed to be a famous couplet by Zhu Xi, a respected scholar in the ancient Song Dynasty (960-1279). The original context should be ??????? ???????, but the word ? is missing on this plate.
Let me know if you need further explanation.
2) http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=ynvoo4olrem
It looks like a seal/stamp saying ??. The manufacturer’s name, I guess.
3) http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=iyz5zqdidoj
Looks like Chinese characters ???, but it doesn’t mean anything. Manufacturer’s name again maybe.
4) http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=xykyrztzhly
They’re simply Japanese kanjis saying ?? (art) ??? (imari).
