Japanese Contemporary Black Platinum Gold Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

Exquisite Japanese dimpled decorative porcelain vase intricately hand painted, showcasing a dramatic scene of a phoenix in platinum and gold extending its beautiful long wings to cover the entire body of the vase, set against a stunning black dimpled background. It is a signed masterpiece by widely respected master porcelain artist in Imari-Arita style and the recipient of prestigious awards for his unique application of platinum and gold 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. Phoenix or 'Ho-ho" is a mythical bird in Japan that is believed to be a messenger of goodwill that comes to earth and represents sun, fire, fidelity and justice. It is considered a symbol for the imperial household, specifically the empress. In the dimpling process the unfired porcelain shell is impressed with hundreds of dimples, to which gold and platinum are applied at the final stage of production. The dimples are designed to accentuate the luster of the precious metals by varying the thickness of application and allowing the cratering to convey a sense of depth. "Fired-on gold," 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 five-ten firings. This superb gilded porcelain piece comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 12 in D 6.5 in.
