Gump's "Kiku" Imari-Style China – Nearly Complete Service for 12
A vibrant and expansive Gump's Imari-style "Kiku" china service, featuring rich cobalt blue, iron red, and celadon green hues with gilded details and traditional chrysanthemum and peony motifs. This pattern draws inspiration from classic Japanese Imari ware, celebrated for its bold color palette, ornate florals, and scalloped edges.
This is a nearly complete service for twelve, offering an impressive table presence and ideal versatility for both display and entertaining. The set includes a full suite of plates, cups, and serving pieces, all showcasing the distinctive Kiku medallion centered with lush blossoms framed by alternating reserves of florals and stylized fans. The service retains its striking color and remains beautifully cohesive.
