Japanese Contemporary Large Porcelain Vase Gold Green Red Green by Master Artist

About the Item

Mesmerizing very large contemporary Japanese decorative porcelain vase, intricately hand-painted in blue, green and red on a beautifully shaped body and gilded, featuring a stunning combination of polychrome overglaze and extensive gilding. It is a signed masterpiece by master porcelain artist who is widely noted and received awards for his signature techniques for the application of gold and platinum to 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 exquisite piece is thhe perfect canvas for showcasing an extended asymmetric panel with elegant scalloped rim depicting heron resting and i flight over an old wooden bridge constructed in the classical Japanese style. The delicate branches of weeping willow trees hand over the bridge, and cherry blossoms in full bloom represented in orange and gold decorate the tapered neck of this attractive vase. The auspicious fish scale pattern in green and gold symbolizes continuous waves, a wish for a steady and peaceful life and longevity. Delicate dots done in pure white accentuate the golden “clouds” that surround the panel. "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 striking very large decorative porcelain vase comes in a custom-made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 17 in, D 11 in.

  • Rare and Large Japanese Porcelain Vase Makuzu Kozan
    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 an impressively large size, this vase was likely made and reserved as a presentation piece for one of the many expositions the studio participated in the early 20th century. It was 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 literary landscape known as "Mountain and Water". Being one of the most creative ceramists, Kozan started experimenting with new chemical colors from the West in the format of his porcelain glaze around 1880s. New colors allowed him to create underglaze designs 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 Taikan...
