| This 19th century Meiji era ceramic container takes its name from the town of Imari on the Japanese island of Kyushu. Old polychrome Imari, among the many handsome varieties of ceramics produced there, was not made in the same quantities as underglaze blue and white so was much sought after by 19th century families who could afford the finest hibachi. Hibachi in various sizes made of copper-lined wood and bronze as well as ceramics were filled with hot coals and used as a source of heat. One of this size and quality would have been used as a portable heater for honored guests or the master of the household. It is in perfect condition, Dimensions: height 10" (26 cm), diameter 11" (8 cm). | ||
