Japanese Hand Painted Tree-of-Life Motif Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

This hand painted contemporary porcelain vase created by an artist of the Imari- Arita region of Japan features a tree-of-life motif rendered in green and red against a dark blue background. By using lines of gold to express the veins of the leaves, the artist has added depth to this small seven-inch tall vase. The artist is the recipient of numerous awards for his 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 – a large lidded jar in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. “Fired-on gold,” this 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 exquisite hand painted porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 7 in, D 6 in.

    These are a high quality pair of very decorative gilded hand enameled Japanese porcelain lidded vases which we date to the Edo period of the 19th century, circa 1830.
