Japanese Contemporary Blue Black Gold Porcelain Vase by Master Artist, 2

About the Item

Extraordinary meuseum quality signed Japanese contemporary porcelain vase, referred to by the artist as the “lady with a golden shawl,” a masterpiece by a celebrated award-winning third-generation porcelain artist of the Kutani region of Japan features a cascade of grape vines rendered in pure gold that wrap around the soft shoulders of the vase, on an attractive blue and black background. To express the signature grape vines, the artist grinds pure gold foil into powder form, which is then delicately applied to the vase to create raised patterns against a deep black backdrop. The artist's is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards for his extraordinary work and his unique contributions to the centuries old "chibu" porcelain art. His profile is available upon request. The tiny blue dots that accentuate the dark backdrop are referred to as “chibu” in a beloved traditional Kutani porcelain art and represent the signature style of the artist and his forbearers. First developed in the early years of the 19th century, the “chibu” technique tasks the artist with painstakingly creating patterns with minute raised pigmented drops of equal size placed at precise intervals to generate a highly textured and mesmerizing field of raised dots. The dots are most frequently done in a bluish-green hue as in the piece, but also in white and gold.  This exquisite Kutani porcelain vase comes in a beautiful custom-made paulownia wood case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 8.5 in, D 6 in.
