About the Item

Exquisite Japanese contemporary decorative porcelain vase, intricately hand painted in green and various shades of blue underglaze on an elegantly shaped porcelain body, a signed masterpiece by widely respected Japanese master porcelain artist and the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and his unique signature gold and platinum work on porcelain. n 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. It depicts an intricate arabesque or karakusa pattern, a traditional Auspicious pattern decorating the entire body of the vase. This traditional auspicious pattern is said to symbolize longevity and prosperity because it extends in all directions without interruption. Two scalloped cartouches accentuate the design, one showcasing the auspicious koi or carp swimming up the river. The story goes that a carp climbs a waterfall and becomes a dragon, and thus it is a symbol of leap and success. The other panel depicts a deer and a monkey. Deers are considered messengers of gods mediating between gods and humans. Monkeys were positioned at the enterance of many temples to ward off evil spirits. Wooden carved three wise monkeys at the entrance of Toshogu shrine in Nikko Japan advice everyone entering the shrine: "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". Deer is the symbol of longevity and prosperity. It is a beloved auspicious pattern since ancient times and has been depictded by various porcelain artists. This unique porcelain vase comes in a custom-made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 12.5 in D 11.5 in “Fired-on gold,” this 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 artist's profile is available upon request.
