About the Item

Mesmerizing Japanese Contemporary museum-quality tall decorative porcelain vase with mysterious etchings and three-dimensional effect in a stunningly elegant shape featuring silver foil tinted in five breathtaking shades of blue, meticulously positioned using lacquer as an adhesive and sealed to the vase in a low-temperature firing process, a masterpiece by award winning widely acclaimed master porcelain artist from Imari-Arita region of Japan. The combination of five shades of blue expressed on a complicatedly etched surface creates an unpredictable and ever shifting display of light and color that invite the viewer to approach it and explore the magnificent details of this extraordinary piece. The three generations of master artists in the Imari-Arita region of southern Japan have been experimenting and perfecting techniques featuring gold foil for seven decades. Inspired by centuries-old kinrande (gold enameled porcelain) styles of Imari, the artists have developed a technique known as haku- yui (braided foils) that combines gold, platinum and silver foils to create a shimmering palette of light and color. The artist's profile is available upon request. Silver foil is used exclusively as a substrate for expressing a wide spectrum of vivid colors. Foils of differing material and color are applied separately and at the rate of “one shade per day” in a process reminiscent of multi-color woodblock printing, implying that the addition of each new shade exponentially increases the time and complexity of production. This breathtaking tall porcelain vase comes in a custom-made wooden box signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 16.5 in, D 7 in.

Large Japanese Blue and White Vase by Mazuku Kozan Meiji Period
By Makuzu Kozan
Located in Atlanta, GA
A striking blue and white vase from the studio of Japanese Potter Makuzu Kozan, also known as Miyagawa Kozan (1842–1916), one of the most established and collected ceramist from Meiji Period. Born as Miyagawa Toranosuke, Kozan established his pottery studio in Yokohama around 1870s and later became one of the appointed artist to the Japanese Imperial household. His work was exhibited in many international fairs that the Meiji government participated at the turn of the century and won many grand prizes. With a relative large size, this vase is decorated with underglaze cobalt blue using the novel technique developed by Kozan called Fuki-e (the blow painting), in order to achieve the striking dimensional misty winter landscape. The pine trees with upright trunks and down-sweeping branches appear receding into the depth of the mist, forming an visually unending forest. Known as one of the most creative ceramists, around 1880s, Kozan started experimenting with new chemical colors from the West in the format of his porcelain glaze. New colors allowed him to create underglaze design that appeared bright, smooth and glossy. He even invented his own receipt of cobalt blue to achieve a much brighter yet softer shade, as evident on this vase. To create landscape that is realistic and dimensional, more common in the western paintings, he was inspired by the native Japanese ink painting technique developed around 1900 by Yokoyama...
