About the Item

Exuisite Japanese contemporary decorative porcelain charger, hand painted in vivid purple and various shades of blue and signed by a widely acclaimed master porcelain artist of Japan’s Imari-Arita region. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and his unique signature gold and platinum work on porcelain. 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 elegant charger in textured blue is the perfect canvas for dramatic irises in full bloom in shades of purple and their stalks in midnight blue reaching out yearning to get to the tip top. The flat stalks of the irises resemble swords symbolizing strength, and the very refreshing scent of iris is said to exterminate evil spirits, making it an auspicious plant. For centuries irises have been depicted in numerous works by Nabeshima and Koimari porcelain artists. Graceful and elegant irises continue to be a very popular pattern even in modern times. “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 stunning hand painted porcelain charger comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: D 13 in H 2 in.
