Contemporary Japanese Blue and White Porcelain Vase by Master Artist
About the Item
Exceptional Japanese contemporary decorative porcelain vase, intricately hand-painted in cobalt blue underglaze on a stunningly 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.
The beloved "oshidori" or 'love birds' theme has for centuries been a very popular theme in Japanese paintings and literature, and has decorated fine Japanese porcelain and lacquer pieces for a long time. The intricate lines define the bird and flower motif of this piece, creating a mesmerizing scene of the birds swimming in the pond under the cherry branches that are bent down with the weight of cherry blossoms in full bloom, with peonies and other spring flowers surrounding them. Cherry blossom is the symbol of the spring, a time of renewal, and the fleeting nature of life. Peony is the symbol of honor, good fortune and bravery.
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.
“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.

A finely decorated and glazed Japanese porcelain vase by Makuzu Kozan (1842-1916) circa 1900s Meiji Period. The vase is of a classic bottle form with baluster body and short neck. It was decorated with underglaze white magnolia blossom on a pleasant celadon background. The stamens of the flower were artistically rendered in a low relief, giving the design a realistic appeal with the dimension.
