About the Item

Exquisite Japanese Contemporary museum-quality intricately gilded dimpled porcelain vase, hand-painted in red on a stunning shape in gold, a masterpiece by widely respected award-winning master porcelain artist in Imari-Arita tradition. 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. The artist's profile is available upon request. This master artist is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and his unique signature gold and platinum work on porcelain. This exceptional piece, a decorative porcelain vase in a stunningly shaped body intricately exhibits extraordinary clusters of auspicious cherry blossoms in full bloom, set against an attractive gilded and dimpled background. The unfired porcelain shell is impressed with hundreds of dimples, to which gold and platinum are applied at the final stage of production. The dimples are designed to accentuate the luster of the precious metals by varying the thickness of application and allowing the cratering to convey a sense of depth. The artist's profile is available upon request. Cherry blossoms represent spring, the time of renewal, and are a reminder of the fleeting nature of life. In the ancient springtime rite of hanami (flower viewing) that continues to this day, crowds congregate under cherry trees in full bloom to eat, drink, sing and celebrate life under a canopy of blossoms that all know will last but a few days. Particularly poignant is the tradition of nighttime flower viewing (yozakura) where the encroaching darkness adds to the urgency of “gather ye rosebuds while ye may.” In his ode to cherry blossoms, Matsuo Basho, the 17th century haiku poet, laments the impermanence of life. “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 breathtaking gilded hand painted piece comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 13.5 in D 11 in
