Large Blue Silver Porcelain Vase by Contemporary Japanese Master Artist

About the Item

mesmerizing Japanese large contemporary porcelain vase in blue and silver based foil in many different shades of blue on a stunningly shaped globular body. This is a masterpiece by a third generation master of a kiln located in the Imari-Arita region of southern Japan who is the descendant of an extended family of prolific porcelain and ceramic artists. The kiln started in the 19th century with traditional kinrande techniques (gold enameled porcelain), but in accordance with the philosophy of the kiln’s founder, each subsequent generation pioneered in a field of the master’s choosing. Thus, the second generation is known for its yuri-kinsai (gold foil underglaze) and the third generation for its haku-yui (intertwining of precious-metal foils). Yuri-kinsai was termed in the 1950s as a new glazing technique. The main feature is a highly transparent overglaze on the gilded porcelain, cutting out stencils of gold foil for underglaze decorations. In this piece titled "Cascade" the artist has used silver based foils for expressing various shades of blue to create a dazzling cascading pattern appearing throughout the body of this mesmerizing piece. This striking decorative vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 11.5 in, D 11 in.
