About the Item
Exquisite contemporary Japanese signed decorative porcelain mizusashi/lidded jar, hand painted in purple, blue and yellow, set against a stunning dimpled body in platinum, by highly acclaimed porcelain artist of Japan’s Imari-Arita region. The artist 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.
Mizusashi is a lidded fresh water jar used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony to replenish the boiling kettle and rinse the tea bowls. First to enter and last to leave the tea ceremony room, the mizusashi serves as a focal point in the aesthetic scheme of an otherwise meditative and somber ceremony with a
history that goes back more than ten centuries.
This striking ovoid mizusashi boasts a dimpled platinum-gilded body that serves as a canvas for a scene of stunning morning glory flowers in full bloom presented in purple and yellow with blue and green foliage.
The unfired porcelain shell is impressed with hundreds of dimples, to which gold and platinum are applied at the final stage of production. The dimples are designed to accentuate the luster of the precious metals by varying the thickness of application and allowing the cratering to convey a sense of depth.
“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 exquisite platinum-gilded porcelain lidded jar/mizusashi comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist.
