Antique Lamp - a Rare Chinese Imari Lamp Circa 1750

Imari porcelain is the name understood in the West as Japanese porcelain made at Arita and exported through the port of Imari.  From the mid 17th century the Dutch East India Company monopolised the lucrative export trade, supplying the insatiable European demand for porcelain.

It came to the attention of the Chinese porcelain makers at the vast Imperial kilns at Jingdezhen that Japanese Imari porcelain was in high demand in Europe.  The Chinese makers were quick to realise the commercial success of the Japanese Imari style of decoration and by the early 18th century were producing a Chinese version of the Japanese Imari style

Chinese-Imari pieces are typically less decorated than the Japanese originals with more white porcelain showing.  Japanese Imari is usually all-over decorated, producing a much more “busy” style, however, in general, Chinese-Imari examples are more finely potted with a thinner more even glaze.  The colour palette follows the traditional Japanese original, Rouge de Fer, or, Iron red, under glaze cobalt blue and gilding

How can i tell the difference between japanese and chinese books?

i saw some at a used book store but i think they are imported, and i cannot tell if they are japanese or chinese. my little sister is learning japanese and i'd like to pick some books up for her. please help? 10 points (the owner doesnt know)

Japanese books will have a combination of Kanji (traditional Chinese characters) and Hiragana (Japanese specific characters). Depending on your little sisters age the books you get for her might be only in Hiragana - children learn hiragana first and then start with very basic Kanji in the first grade, learning more kanji every year.

Here are some common (and distinct) Hiragana characters:

あ
こ
ひ
の
わ

You can open up any book and just flip through - Kanji is almost always made without loops so looking for Hiranga is pretty easy. If you spot any of the characters above (I think this one: の is one of the easiest to spot) then you'll know you have a Japanese book.
