Japanese Blue White Porcelain Vase by Contemporary Master Artist, 3

About the Item

Exquisite 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. His profile is available upon request. The auspicious dragon and deity above the clouds set against a textured blue underglaze background create a mesmerizing scene. Dragon is an imaginary animal, believed to be a god of the heavens, and is said to have supernatural powers by living in the water and flying in the air on clouds. It has been popular in Japan since the Heian era, and dragon motif is loved and used in a wide variety of mediums such as paintings and ceramics. This exquisite porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 15.5 in, D 11.5 in. “Fired-on gold,” his signature style sets his work apart with his extremely fine brushwork and unique techniques for incorporating gold and platinum into the hand painting and multiple firing processes that yield a stunningly opulent look. The polychrome over glaze 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.
