About the Item

Exquisite Japanese large contemporary decorative porcelain vase, intricately gilded and hand painted in striking shades of blue on a beautifully shaped porcelain body, a signed masterpiece by highly acclaimed award-winning master porcelain artist from the historic Imari-Arita region 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. What sets his work apart is his extremely fine brushwork and unique techniques for incorporating precious metals – gold, platinum and silver – in his creations. This artist's profile is available upon request. The extremely intricate lines in gold define the bird and flower motif of this piece, creating a mesmerizing scene of eagles and pines. Eagle with its dignified figure and sharp claws is a symbol of strength. In addition, it is believed that because it soars high, the momentum rises, the good luck is grabbed with its strong nails, and the evil spirits are driven away by its sharp eyesight. Pine trees are resistant to extreme cold and thus are considered the symbol of longevity. Eagle and pine has been a beloved motif in Japanese art for centuries and can be found on paintings and woodblock prints. “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 5-10 firings. This exquisite porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 11 in, D 13 in.
