Japanese Blue White Gold Porcelain Vase by Master Artist, 2

About the Item

Exceptional Japanese contemporary porcelain vase, hand painted in blue underglaze on a stunningly shaped porcelain body, a signed masterpiece by highly acclaimed master porcelain artist of the historic Imari-Arita region of southern Japan, known for his expert application of gold and platinum to porcelain painting. 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. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional work and his signature techniques. This stunning vase features a stunning bold foliage pattern in blue underglaze set against a background of striking intricate pattern in white. The foliage is accentuated with delicate touches of gold. The artist's profile is available upon request. This unique contemporary gided hand painted vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 13.25 in, D 12.5 in. "Fired-on gold," his signature style highlights unique techniques for incorporating gold and platinum in the hand painting and multiple firing processes to create a stunningly opulent look. After firing the blue underglaze at 1,300 degrees Celsius, the polychrome overglaze is fired at 800 degrees. Finally, gold or platinum is applied and fired at slightly lower temperatures to maximize the luster of the precious metals. To achieve a crisp separation of colors and materials, a single piece may undergo as many as ten firings.
