A potiche refers to a large porcelain vase from the Far East. Generally speaking, it is a container of earth, metal, etc., of various shapes and uses. But it is also the name given in France, from the 19th century, to porcelain vases with swollen belly, and often with lid, originating from China and Japan, and to their European imitations. We therefore speak of potiche and not of vase when there is a lid.
Imari is a place of production of Japanese ceramics, otherwise known as “Arita porcelain”. It is the port of an island. Imari porcelain was first exhibited by the Dutch, with their Compagnie Orientale des Provinces-Unies (the V.O.C). These are Europeanized decorations but remaining very inspired by the great traditions of Asian spirituality. The Imari style is characterized by three dominant colors: cobalt blue, red tending to saffron and the white background of porcelain. Imari porcelain had a notable influence on the East India Company (Chinese Imari is referred to as East India Company porcelain), Delft earthenware, Dresden porcelain and the Meissen manufactory and even on 20th century Limoges porcelain.
