Very large Japanese Meiji period Imari porcelain charger decorated in underglaze blue and overglaze polychrome enamels and gilt highlights with a background of rich brocade geometric forms. A scroll unrolls from the right to reveal the Gods of Good Fortune. At the left, moriage flowers in piled enamel rise behind a fence. A foliate form cartouche at the bottom holds the three friends of the garden (pine, prunus, and bamboo). Three blue and orange-red floral sprays encircle the back rim. The base has five spur marks. Circa 1900. 21 1/4" diameter x 2 3/4" high. Very good overall condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is typical minor rubbing and wear to the gilt and overglaze pigments. Normal production irregularities. From a Sun Lakes, Arizona collection.
