About the Item

Exquisite contemporary large porcelain decorative vase, hand painted in blue on an elegant pear shaped porcelain body, a signed piece by widely respected Japanese master porcelain artist in the Imari-Arita tradition and 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, a large lidded jar in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. This stunning porcelain vase depicts a beautiful blue maple leaf pattern in "washizume" technique. "Washizome" (Japanese paper dyeing) is a dyeing technique using Japanese paper with water-absorbing properties cut into the shape and size of the pattern on an unglazed porcelain base. By repeating the same process the artist can express subtle shades of color, and will end up with a gentler impression than painting with a brush. “Fired-on gold,” this 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 artist's profile is available upon request. This large porcelain decorative vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 13 in, D 11.5 in.
