About the Item

Unique contemporary Japanese porcelain decorative vase, intricately hand painted in blue, purple, green and red on an elegantly shaped ovoid porcelain body, a signed work by widely respected Japanese master porcelain artist in the Imari-Arita tradition. 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 is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and his unique signature gold and platinum work on porcelain. His profile is available upon request. This striking large porcelain vase depicts shishi lions surrounded by bamboos, pine trees and plum blossoms. Together they are called"sho-chiku-bai," an auspicious motif (three friends of winter). Pine and bamboo keep their green color in the wind and snow, and the plum blossoms appear ahead of other plants in very early spring, are considered symbols of longevity and nobility. Clouds appear in the sky in deep blue and gold with an intricate fish scale pattern. “Fired-on gold,” this 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 artist's profile is available upon request. This large porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 9.5 in, D 11.5 in.
