Japanese Blue, Green, Red and Gold Porcelain Vase by Contemporary Master Artist

About the Item

Exquisite contemporary Japanese porcelain vase, hand painted in green, blue and red on a stunningly shaped porcelain body, a signed piece by highly acclaimed award-winning master porcelain artist of the Imari-Arita region of Japan. In 2016, the British Museum added a work by this artist to its collection of contemporary Japanese porcelain in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and his unique gold and platinum work on porcelain. The artist's profile is available upon request. Intriguing vase dramatically showcases a mythical Chinese giraffe on one side, and the "sho-chiku-bai" motif on the other side. The auspicious "Sho-chiku-bai" or "The Three Friends of Winter" is a cherished theme with a long history in Japan and China. It literally means pine, bamboo and plum. Pine and bamboo that can withstand the wind and snow and extreme cold, and the plum that blooms ahead of other plants in spring are symbolic of longevity, nobility. “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. His profile is available upon request. This stunning hand painted decorative porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 12 in, D 9.5 in.
