Kinrande (金襴きんらんしゅ, literally "gold brocade") is a Japanese porcelain style where gold is applied on the surface and there are a number of variations. It originated from China during the Jiajing (1521–1566) and Wanli (1573–1620) periods of the Ming dynasty.[1][2][3]

In the late Edo period, Arita ware, Imari ware, Kotō ware,[4] Kutani ware, Kyō ware and Satsuma ware had pieces in this style.[5][6] Imari pieces in kinrande style were particularly popular in Baroque era Europe. King Augustus II the Strong of Poland amongst the foremost collectors.[7]

Typically, gold was added to Chinese wucai (五彩ごさい) palette, called gosai in Japanese, which had a white base with red, green, and yellow motifs. Other types of kinrande include:[8]

  • green base (緑地りょくち金襴きんらんしゅ ryokuji kinrande)
  • yellow base (金襴きんらんしゅ ouji kinrande)
  • celadon base (白地しろじ金襴きんらんしゅ hakuji kinrande)
  • emerald base (瑠璃るり金襴きんらんしゅ ruriji kinrande)
  • blue-and-white base (染付そめつけ金襴きんらんしゅ sometsuke kinrande)
  • tricolour base (三彩さんさい金襴きんらんしゅ sancai kinrande)
