Japanese Contemporary Red, Purple Green Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

Japanese contemporary decorative porcelain vase, hand painted in red, purple and blue on a beautifully shaped porcelain body, a signed piece by highly acclaimed porcelain artist of Japan’s Imari-Arita region. The artist is 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 in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. The artist's profile is available upon request. The body of the vase serves as a canvas for a scene of stunning wisterias in full bloom presented in purple and peach and elegant vines, gracefully hanging to decorate the surface of this magnificent piece on an intricate seamless fish scale background in red and white, untamed waves representing the ephemeral nature of physical existence. The auspicious fish scale pattern symbolizes continuous waves, a wish for a steady and peaceful life and longevity. Lovely birds in blue underglaze are in flight above this stunning scene. “Fired-on gold,” the 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 unique gilded porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 11.5 in D 10.5 in.

    Located in Takarazuka, JP
    Exquisite Japanese contemporary Kutani porcelain vase, intricately hand painted on an elegantly shaped porcelain body, a signed masterpiece by the third generation master porcelain artist in traditional Kutani. His grandfather started as a porcelain artist 140 years ago faithfully protecting the characteristics of traditional Kutani fine porcelain. The creator of this piece, the third generation artist, continues to keep this tradition alive and is among a very small number of Kutani porcelain artists who still create traditional Kutani pieces. Traditional Kutani porcelain called Kutani Ware has a history of over 360 years. The spirit of Kutani ware emerges as highly skilled craftsmen draw hairline images on white porcelain, which are tempered with heavily applied ornamental glazes. These glazes, when fired in the kiln, are converted into five colors of enamel, green, yellow, blue, purple and red. When they are combined with the bold designs and free-flawing drawings, elaborately worked pieces are created. This stunning piece depicts two large and two small scalloped panels with flower and bird motifs on white background. The panels are surrounded by intricately designed scrolling vines motif in deep green. A band in traditional Kutani green...
