About the Item

This exquisite contemporary ceramic vase with stunning etchings features silver foil in a beautiful combination of multiple colors, meticulously positioned inside the fine etchings, using lacquer as an adhesive and sealed to the vase in a low-temperature firing process. The combination of all the colors expressed on a complicatedly etched surface creates an unpredictable and ever shifting display of light and color. This is a masterpiece by a third generation master of a kiln located in the Imari-Arita region of southern Japan who is the descendant of an extended family of prolific porcelain and ceramic artists. The three generations of the Kosan Kiln located in the Imari-Arita region of southern Japan have been experimenting and perfecting techniques featuring gold foil for seven decades. Inspired by centuries-old kinrande (gold enameled porcelain) styles of Imari, the artists have developed a technique known as haku- yui (braided foils) that combines gold, platinum and silver foils to create a shimmering palette of light and color. In this striking piece the artist has used silver based foils for expressing various colors to create dazzling fireworks appearing throughout the body of this mesmerizing piece. Silver foil is used exclusively as a substrate for expressing a wide spectrum of vivid colors. Foils of differing material and color or a combination of them are applied separately and at the rate of “one shade per day” in a process reminiscent of multi-color woodblock printing, implying that the addition of each new shade exponentially increases the time and complexity of production. This stunning decorative vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 12.5 in, D4.5 in.
