Japanese Contemporary Blue Purple Gold Porcelain Vase by Master Artist, 2

About the Item

Extraordinary Japanese contemporary museum quality decorative porcelain vase, extremely intricately hand painted on an elegantly shaped porcelain body in blue and purple with extremely intricate patterns and extensive use of high purity gold, creating a mesmerizing palette with layers of transparent colors that can only be achieved by the old elaborate technique used in this piece. This piece is a signature masterpiece from the artist’s exclusive collection of extraordinary pieces in a breathtaking traditional hand-painting extremely intricate and transparent. It is a masterpiece by highly acclaimed master porcelain artist and recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and unique gold and platinum work on porcelain. In 2016, the British Museum added a work by this award-winning artist to its collection of contemporary Japanese porcelain in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. The artist’s profile is available upon request. This mesmerizing contemporary piece showcasing a dense mosaic of extremely intricate patterns in gold. This produces a striking dream-like illusion of a “transparent” canvas on which fully articulated bold peonies and chrysunthemums appear to be floating. Fully articulated mallard duck on a pond described in extraordinary detail freely appear in a panel creating a mesmerizing scene. This old technique that combines different elements of extremely intricate painting, with colors and depth that create a pallet that is flawlessly organic and makes the viewer wonder about the sequence of the artist’s work on this piece. The technique involves numerous challenges at different stages of painting as well as firing. For this reason and the enormous amount of time needed to create one piece, this technique is rarely used by today’s porcelain artists. Another intricate pattern in gold on iron-red background decorates the bottom of the vase with the artist’s signature in the centre. To add to the elegance of the whole piece, the intricate pattern continues all the way to the tip of the vase while the background color gradually turns into an attractive light blue around the neck. “Fired-on gold.” The artist’s 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. Dimensions: H 11.5 in D 9 in
