About the Item

Extraordinary museum quality exhibition porcelain piece, large Kutani porcelain decorative box, extremely intricately hand painted in blue, orange, red and green on a stunningly shaped octagonal large body in finest quality porcelain, a signed masterpiece by highly acclaimed award-winning Kutani master porcelain artist. This artist's work is displayed together with the works of other Kutani master porcelain artists and “living national treasures” in the concourse of the Kanazawa Station – recognized as “one of the six most beautiful railway stations in the world.”. The artist’s works have been selected time and again by the Imperial Household and have been given as gifts to foreign dignitaries visiting Japan. This stunning octagonal porcelain box is a decorative piece of “precision engineered porcelain” that ensures an exact fit between the lower part of the box and its ornately decorated cover. The cover features a stunning display of pomegranates represented in deep orange hues and bursting open to reveal its lush core, and a gorgeous bird that is about to take flight from an adjoining branch. The moment is frozen in time against a background of pure white to convey an exceptional sense of three-dimensional movement. An intricate and extremely detailed geometric pattern in turquoise, red, yellow and brown on pure white background, the artist's signature design, decorates the eight panels across this astonishing porcelain decorative box. Inside the box more surprises are waiting to be explored. The inner surface of the cover features chestnuts and elegant bands of intricate geometric patterns in burgundy, turquoise, yellow and brown. Here again, the chestnuts have burst open to yield their kernels. Berries in green, purple and red with attractive foliage decorate the lower portion of the box with yet another intricate geometric pattern in purple yellow and red in a thick band decorating the outer edge. For this truly exceptional piece, the artist has given substantial thickness to the overglaze to generate a highly textured feel that creates an illusion of movement on multiple levels of the porcelain palette. The geometric pattern, which continues from the sides of the top cover to the lower reaches of the box, poses a difficult Challenge for the artist who must carefully “engineer” the two parts of the box to fit tightly and to create a solid uninterrupted design layout, notwithstanding the shrinkage in the porcelain that occurs during multiple firings. Inspired by traditional Kutani designs, his distinctive signature style combines gracefully understated flora and birds with detailed geometric patterns. These elements comprising his signature style has earned the admiration and appreciation of fans everywhere. The artist's profile is available upon request. This exquisite piece showcases all elements of his style to create a stunning natural scene framed by a virtuoso display of intricately positioned geometric patterns. Kutani porcelain kilns with 360 years of history are noted as Japan’s finest, continuing to introduce amazing shapes and exquisitely hand painted vases and chargers. This exquisite masterpiece comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: W 12 in D 12 in H 4 in.
