Japanese Contemporary Blue White Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

Contemporary Japanese porcelain decorative vase, extremely intricately hand painted in underglaze cobalt blue on an elegant bottle shape porcelain body, a stunning signed piece by widely acclaimed Japanese master porcelain artist in the Imari-Arita tradition and 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, a large lidded jar in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. His profile is available upon request. This striking porcelain vase depicts the auspicious traditional "millet and quail" motif, set against an extremely intricate pattern in blue. This motif appears repeatedly in Japanese pottery, metalwork, lacquer and painting. It is the symbol of good fortune conveying the wish for a plentiful harvest, with quails under heavy stalks of millet. The delicate scalloped opening adds another layer of beauty to this piece. This exquisite porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 10.5 in, D 10 in. The artist's platinum and gold work: “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.
