Blue Hand Painted Porcelain Vase by Japanese Contemporary Master Artist

About the Item

Exceptional large contemporary Japanese Porcelain decorative vase, extremely intricately hand painted in blue on a stunning ovoid shape body, depicting an attractive intricate flower motif in various shades of blue and purple set against an elegant textured background in blue with a beautiful intricate pattern of white dots. It is a signed work by highly acclaimed master porcelain artist in Imari-Arita tradition of Japan. In 2016, the British Museum added a work by this artist to its collection of contemporary Japanese porcelain, a large lidded jar in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. The artist is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and his unique gold and platinum work on porcelain. Three paths encircle the vase starting at the base and rising toward the delicately elongated neck. The paths take the traveler through plum orchards in full bloom and past multi-tiered palaces surrounded by a dense field of red blossoms that cover the entire body. This striking hand painted porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 13 in, D 11 in. "Fired-on gold," his 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 five-ten firings.

    Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
    These are a high quality pair of very decorative gilded hand enameled Japanese porcelain lidded vases which we date to the Edo period of the 19th century, circa 1830.
