Japanese Contemporary Platinum Blue Porcelain Vase by Master Artist Duo
About the Item
Outstanding Japanese contemporary museum quality porcelain vase, highly detailed, extremely intricately hand painted in blue and platinum on a stunningly shaped porcelain body, showcasing the four auspicious creatures of Chinese mythology said to be the guardians of the four points of the compass. This extraordinary vase is the result of the magical collaboration of two highly acclaimed award-winning second generation master artists, two brothers working in tandem in the Imari-Arita region of southern Japan.
The two brothers who worked together to create this vase follow a strict division of labor. The older brother is responsible for depicting the fauna and flora, while the younger brother works exclusively on the background and on creating the intricate geometric patterns that grace the neck and base of the vase. The signatures of both brothers appear on the reverse.
This dramatic piece is inspired by the murals of the Kitora Tumulus, a 7th century burial mound unearthed in central Japan in recent years. Appearing on its murals in colorful detail are the four guardian creatures of ancient Chinese mythology. As recreated on the vase, these are the white tiger (guardian of the west), the blue dragon (east), the Vermillion phoenix (south), and black turtle (north). The turtle, symbolizing long life, is shown entwined with a snake, representing fertility and the life force.
This breathtaking porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by both artists.
