Eye-catching designs

The blue-and-white design which features in antique crockery so frequently originated in China and is created using blue pigments such as cobalt oxide. Blue willow is a typical design portrayed within this tradition. Victorian plates are usually brightly coloured, for example the bright green Majolica style and shiny silver was fashionable during this era. We also have a number of decorative pieces from the art nouveau design period, which used lighter, more muted tones than the Victorian period that came before. Pair these with our art nouveau mirrors and art nouveau table lamps if this popular aesthetic appeals to you.

Japanese plates antique UK

Our Chinese and Japanese plates are beautifully decorated, often with hand-painted designs on the porcelain. The term Imari is used to describe the bright, intricate designs of Arita wear, which originated in Japan in the late 17th century. This style was later copied by European manufacturers, appearing on English-made plates. The Kutani style, which became popular in the 19th century, uses dark colours – typically nature-inspired hues such as rich greens and muddy reds and yellows. If you’re in the market for styles to match, browse our Oriental rugs to find the perfect accompaniment to your antique Japanese plate.
