Japanese Contemporary Blue Platinum Porcelain Vase by Master Artist, 3

About the Item

Exquisite contemporary dimpled decorative porcelain vase in blue on platinum, a stunning piece hand painted by a highly acclaimed porcelain artist of Japan’s Imari-Arita region. The artist is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and his unique signature gold and platinum work on porcelain. In 2016, the British Museum added a work by this artist to its collection of contemporary Japanese porcelain in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. The artist's profile is available upon request. This striking ovoid vase boasts a dimpled platinum-gilded body that serves as a canvas for a stunning scene of scrolling foliage or arabesque pattern in underglaze blue set against a dimpled background in platinum. 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,” 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. This elegant platinum-gilded porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 14 in D 9.5 in.
