Japanese Contemporary Red Green Blue Platinum Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

Extraordinary large decorative porcelain decorative bowl titled "firework" with mysterious intricate etchings features platinum, gold foils plus silver foil tinted in shades of vivid green, blue, pink and purple, meticulously positioned using lacquer as an adhesive and sealed to the vase in a low-temperature firing process. The three generations of master artist of the Kosan Kiln located in the Imari-Arita region of southern Japan have been experimenting and perfecting techniques featuring gold foil for seven decades. Inspired by centuries-old kinrande (gold enameled porcelain) styles of Imari, the artists have developed a technique known as haku-yui (braided foils) that combines gold, platinum and silver foils to create a shimmering palette of light and color. Silver foil is used exclusively as a substrate for expressing a wide spectrum of vivid colors. Foils of differing material and color are applied separately and at the rate of “one shade per day” in a process reminiscent of multi-color woodblock printing, implying that the addition of each new shade exponentially increases the time and complexity of production. 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. This fascinating decorative porcelain bowl comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 8.5 in D 12 in.
