Japanese Contemporary Purple Green Pink Gold Porcelain Vase by Master Artist, 3

About the Item

Exquisite Japanese contemporary gilded porcelain vase in a beautiful shape, intricately hand-painted in various hues of purple, a masterpiece by widely acclaimed master porcelain artist of the Imari-Arita region of southern 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. The artist is the recipient of numerous prestigous awards. His profile is available upon request. Striking clusters of auspicious cherry blossom decorate the surface of this piece, set against a fish scale pattern in intricate gold details on a stunning purple background. The auspicious fish scale pattern represents waves. A wish for a lasting peaceful life, as the waves that continue in the vast ocean. It is a beloved theme and has been extensively used in Japanese art and literature for centuries. “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 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. The artist's profile is available upon request. This stunning gilded porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 7 in D 6 in

  • Japanese Contemporary Green Purple Porcelain Vase by Master Artist
    Located in Takarazuka, JP
    Exquisite Japanese contemporary Kutani porcelain vase, intricately hand painted on an elegantly shaped porcelain body, a signed masterpiece by the third generation master porcelain artist in traditional Kutani. His grandfather started as a porcelain artist 140 years ago faithfully protecting the characteristics of traditional Kutani fine porcelain. The creator of this piece, the third generation artist, continues to keep this tradition alive and is among a very small number of Kutani porcelain artists who still create traditional Kutani pieces. Traditional Kutani porcelain called Kutani Ware has a history of over 360 years. The spirit of Kutani ware emerges as highly skilled craftsmen draw hairline images on white porcelain, which are tempered with heavily applied ornamental glazes. These glazes, when fired in the kiln, are converted into five colors of enamel, green, yellow, blue, purple and red. When they are combined with the bold designs and free-flawing drawings, elaborately worked pieces are created. This stunning piece depicts two large and two small scalloped panels with flower and bird motifs on white background. The panels are surrounded by intricately designed scrolling vines motif in deep green. A band in traditional Kutani green...
