Japanese Contemporary Green Red Yellow Blue Porcelain Vase by Master Artist, 2
About the Item
Mesmerizing Japanese contemporary museum quality decorative porcelain vase, extremely intricately hand-painted in vivid green, red, yellow and blue on a stunning cylinder shape body. This signed masterpiece showcases the artistry of the single-firing technique that capitalizes on the subtle melding of colors to create the appearance of a superb piece of jewelry.It is a signed masterpiece by the third generation master of a Kutani kiln with a history of more than 140 years. His extraordinary life and works were celebrated in a 2002 exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution’s Sackler Gallery.
The artist adheres to the traditional “single-firing technique” where sharply defined lines and contours are discarded in favor of a soft and subtle melding of colors and patterns. “What sets a masterpiece apart,” the artist explains, “is how close different colors come to spilling onto each other without actually doing so.” Now in his 80s and uncompromisingly committed to the traditions of Kutani porcelain artistry, He jointly operates the kiln with his son.
His uncompromising adherence to tradition takes him as far as to maintain a limited supply of “old Kutani clay” used in creating special orders for historically accurate pieces. The impurities in the old clay produce a “dusty beige hue” with random dark spots of iron oxide. The glaze is appropriately thickened to seal the impurities and prevent pockmarks, allowing the observer to meditate on the mysteries of random speckling.
Notwithstanding his lofty achievements, he adamantly refuses the title of “master artist” and insists on calling himself a “mere artisan” committed to faithfully carrying forward the themes, techniques and the five colors (green, yellow, purple, deep blue, red) of the traditional Kutani palette.
This superb porcelain vase comes in a custom-made wooden case signed by the artist.
