Antique Imari-Style Porcelain Drainer – Hand-Painted Floral & Pagoda Scene

An exquisite hand-painted porcelain drainer tray, decorated in the classic Imari palette of deep cobalt blue, iron red, and soft gilt accents. This 19th-century piece features a detailed scene with a floral arrangement, stylized foliage, and a pagoda—framed by a traditional border and pierced with drainage holes throughout. Originally used as the insert for a meat platter or to strain fruits and vegetables, it now makes a spectacular display piece.
