Background of Kakiemon Design on Worcester Porcelain During the Regency period in England, Kakiemon designs became popular at Worcester Porcelain as part of the broader enthusiasm for Japanese and Chinese porcelain. Kakiemon porcelain is a Japanese style known for its elegant and often asymmetrical designs painted in vibrant colors—typically a palette of iron red, blue, green, and yellow on a white porcelain body (Worcester replaced the yellow with gilt). The style emerged from the Arita kilns in Japan during the 17th century and was named after the famous potter Sakaida Kakiemon. The Kakiemon style conveyed a sense of exoticism and luxury that was highly valued in Regency society. We offer FREE shipping to the continental United States.
