About the Item

Mesmerizing large contemporary Japanese museum-quality decorative porcelain vase, stunningly hand painted in extremely intricate patterns and extensive use of gold on vibrant red, yellow, blue/gray and green on a stunningly shaped porcelain body, featuring the auspicious “dragon” motif. This is a signature masterpiece from an exclusive collection of highly collectible pieces by widely acclaimed master porcelain artist and recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and unique 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. The artist's profile is available upon request. This old elaborate technique combines different elements of extremely intricate painting that showcases a dense mosaic of extremely intricate patterns created by finely drawn lines of gold and produces a mesmerizing dream-like illusion of a “transparent” canvas, creating a beautiful palette with layers of transparent colors and depth that are flawlessly organic and make the viewer wonder about the sequence of the artist’s work on this piece. The technique involves numerous challenges at different stages of painting as well as firing. For this reason and the enormous amount of time needed to create one piece, this technique is rarely used by today’s porcelain artists. The artist’s profile is available upon request. This unique vase dramatically showcases two extremely intricately hand-painted dragons, one in red and the other one in yellow, facing each other, set against an exquisite background of a dense mosaic of extremely fine and intricate drawing with gold on gradations of a stunning blue/gray creating a striking scene. To add to the elegance of the whole piece, the base and neck are decorated in a rich palette of blue, red and black, enhanced by the generous use of gold showcasing striking pheonixes. The entire reverse side of the vase is decorated with an extremely intricate pattern finely painted in blue/gray and gold, surrounding the artist's signature. “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. The artist's profile is available upon request. This extraordinary hand painted vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 13 in D 13.5 in.
