About the Item

Exceptional very large Japanese porcelain vase uniquely gilded in platinum and gold and hand painted in red and black on a unique bottle shape body, a stunning piece by widely acclaimed master porcelain artist of the Imari-Arita region of Japan. 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. A seamless fish scale pattern expressed in black with extremely intricate gold details decorate the surface of this very large vase. The auspicious fish scale pattern represents waves, a wish for a peaceful life that continues forever, as waves that continiously repeat in the vast ocean. An intricate honeycomb pattern in gold on a vibrant iron-red decorates the elegant long neck all the way up to the stunning flared finely scalloped opening. Breathtaking fan-shaped panels with the auspicious sho-chiku-Bai or friends of winter pattern are gracefully positioned on the outer surfaces to represent different seasons. Sho-Chiku-Bai consists of plum blossom, pine tree and bamboo, symbolizing strength, endurance and grace. It is a beloved theme and has been extensively used in Japanese art and literature for centuries. This graceful very large red and black porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 17 in, D 11 in “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 over glaze 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.
