Japanese Contempory Blue Decorative Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

Exquisite Japanese contemporary decorative porcelain vase, signed masterpiece intricately hand-painted in blue underglaze on a beautifully shaped porcelain body. Working in the historic Imari-Arita region of southern Japan, this artist is a highly acclaimed master porcelain artist and recipient of numerous awards. What sets his work apart is his extremely Fine brushwork and unique techniques for incorporating precious metals – gold, platinum and silver – in his creations. 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. This artist's profile is available upon request. This strikingly beautiful piece in blue underglaze depicts a gaggle of mallard ducks in a pond bordered by irises in full bloom. The illusion of a peaceful pond in the early days of summer is completed with the vase’s scalopped opening that rises above the water with pristine beauty. “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 porcelain vase comes in a custom-made wooden case signed by the artist. Measures: H 14 in C 9 in.
