Japanese Contemporary Large Red Pink Blue Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

Extraordinary very large Japanese contemporary decorative porcelain vase/centerpiece, extremely intricately hand painted on a tall, stunning cylinder shape porcelain body in red, pink, blue and green, a signed masterpiece by highly acclaimed award-winning master porcelain artist of the Imari-Arita region of Japan (1931-2009). This exceptional vase was part of a collection of his lifelong works that was carefully preserved in his kiln and was recently released by his two sons who continue to manage his kiln. The artist was admired for his extremely intricate depiction of scenes of nature and intricate geometric patterns. His legacy lives on through his two sons, acclaimed porcelain artists in their own right, each of whom specializes in one aspect of their father’s style. This artist was the recipient of numerous prestigious awards for his exceptional work and unique contributions to the centuries old art. This artist's profile is available upon request. An itriguing piece showcasing two scenes from the life of a noble lady and her retainers. One scene shows her in formal processional attire and parasol, while the other follows her to a cherry blossom viewing outing on the banks of a swift-flowing river. In the latter scene, the noble lady stands on a meticulously expressed cedar-plank platform overlooking the river and is surrounded by a richly decorated curtain installed to preserve her privacy. The artist adds a humorous touch by placing a cat near her feet, and a more somber note by showing that one of the female retainers carries a sword for her protection. The two scenes are separated by vertical panels decorated with the artist's signature hexagon pattern. Each hexagon encapsulates a five-petalled cherry blossom done in soft hues of yellow and green, and is placed upon a striking dark blue background. The same hexagon pattern appears on the base, as well as the inner and outer surfaces of the rim to neatly frame the entire piece. This striking piece is a great example of the artist's mastery in both underglaze and polychrome overglaze enameling. The sheer size, the breathtaking intricate scenes decorating the two sides and the elegant shape of this magnificent vase, make this a remarkable focal point that attracts people to get closer to enjoy the details of this mesmerizing piece. This stunning contemporary hand painted porcelain vase comes in the original wooden case (tomobako) signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 16 in, D 9 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...
