About the Item

Exquisite contemporary Japanese decorative porcelain vase, intricately hand painted in blue, red and purple on a stunning turquoise background in a beautiful round shape, the signed masterpiece by widely acclaimed award-winning master porcelain artist in the Imari-Arita style. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and his 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. His profile is available upon request. Phoenix has since ancient times been called the “king of birds” in China. Phoenix or 'Ho-ho" is a mythical bird in Japan called King of Birds. It is believed to be a messenger of goodwill that comes to earth and represents sun, fire, fidelity and justice. It is condidered a symbol for the imperial household, specifically the empress.This exceptional intricately hand painted large porcelain vase showcases a bold blue Phoenix dramatically extending its wings in red, purple and deep blue all around the large body of the vase on a turquoise background with a detailed fish scale pattern in gold. The auspicious fish scale pattern represents waves. A wish for a lasting peaceful life, as the waves that continue in the vast ocean. It is a beloved theme and has been extensively used in Japanese art and literature for centuries. "Fired-on gold.” his 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 large striking piece comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 13.5 in D 15 in.
