Contemporary Japanese Blue White Purple Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

Contemporary Japanese decorative Porcelain vase, intricately hand painted in blue, white and purple on an attractive shape body, a signed work by widely acclaimed master porcelain artist of the Imari-Arita region of Japan. This artist is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional application of gold and platinum 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. His profile is available upon request. The vase is the perfect canvas depicting three elegant scalloped panel showcasing beautiful Japanese countrside scenes in blue underglaze, set against a stunning an arabesque pattern of scrolling vines with blue foliage and fine gold details, on a gorgeous purple background. This contrast is breathtaking. The auspicious karakusa (scrolling vines) is a symbol of long life and prosperity because of its uninterrupted growth. The end result is an entertaining piece that attracts the viewer to turn it around and explore the whole surface of this attractive vase. This exquisite porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 7 in, D 6.5 in. “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.
