Mixed group of five Japanese Imari-style porcelain tablewares comprising three larger scalloped plates and two smaller lobed bowls, each richly hand-painted in traditional underglaze cobalt blue, iron red, green enamels, and gilt. The larger plates display varied radial compositions of floral sprays, stylized foliage, geometric diaper panels, bamboo, and auspicious motifs surrounding bold blue-and-white central medallions, while the smaller bowls feature alternating floral reserves and red geometric bands around cobalt floral centers. The undersides are decorated in blue with scrolling floral devices and additional stylized symbols, with one piece bearing a faint underglaze mark. The group presents an attractive range of coordinated yet individually distinctive Imari patterns, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. Condition includes scattered rubbing and losses to the gilt decoration, minor glaze and surface wear, firing imperfections, foot-rim discoloration, and several small rim chips and abrasions, particularly to one of the larger plates, as photographed. 2 bowls measure 6" in diameter and 3 plates are 8.5" in diameter.
