Contemporary Japanese Blue and White Porcelain Vase by Master Artist
About the Item
Striking Japanese contemporary decorative porcelain vase, intricately hand painted in cobalt blue underglaze on a beautifully shaped porcelain body, a signed work by highly acclaimed award-winning master porcelain artist from the historic Imari-Arita region of Japan. In 2016, the British Museum added a work by this artist to its collection of contemporary Japanese porcelain, a large lidded jar in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition.
The beloved "oshidori" or 'love birds' theme has for centuries been a very popular theme in Japanese paintings and literature, and has decorated fine Japanese porcelain and lacquer pieces for a long time. The intricate lines define the bird and flower motif of this piece, creating a mesmerizing scene of the birds swimming in the pond under the cherry branches that are bent down with the weight of cherry blossoms in full bloom, with peonies and other spring flowers surrounding them. Cherry blossom is the symbol of the spring, a time of renewal, and the fleeting nature of life. Peony is the symbol of honor, good fortune and bravery.
What sets his work apart is his extremely fine brushwork and unique techniques for incorporating precious metals – gold, platinum and silver – in his creations. This artist's profile is available upon request.
“Fired-on gold,” his signature style highlights unique techniques for incorporating gold and platinum into the hand painting and multiple firing processes that yield a stunningly opulent look.
The polychrome overglaze is fired at 800 degrees, followed by the application of gold and platinum that are fired at slightly lower temperature to maintain the luster of the precious metals. As a result, a single piece may undergo as many as 5-10 firings.
This exquisite porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist.

- Large Japanese Blue and White Vase by Mazuku Kozan Meiji PeriodBy Makuzu KozanLocated in Atlanta, GAA striking blue and white vase from the studio of Japanese Potter Makuzu Kozan, also known as Miyagawa Kozan (1842–1916), one of the most established and collected ceramist from Meiji Period. Born as Miyagawa Toranosuke, Kozan established his pottery studio in Yokohama around 1870s and later became one of the appointed artist to the Japanese Imperial household. His work was exhibited in many international fairs that the Meiji government participated at the turn of the century and won many grand prizes. With a relative large size, this vase is decorated with underglaze cobalt blue using the novel technique developed by Kozan called Fuki-e (the blow painting), in order to achieve the striking dimensional misty winter landscape. The pine trees with upright trunks and down-sweeping branches appear receding into the depth of the mist, forming an visually unending forest. Known as one of the most creative ceramists, around 1880s, Kozan started experimenting with new chemical colors from the West in the format of his porcelain glaze. New colors allowed him to create underglaze design that appeared bright, smooth and glossy. He even invented his own receipt of cobalt blue to achieve a much brighter yet softer shade, as evident on this vase. To create landscape that is realistic and dimensional, more common in the western paintings, he was inspired by the native Japanese ink painting technique developed around 1900 by Yokoyama...Category
