Large Contemporary Japanese Blue Decorative Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

Striking contemporary large porcelain decorative vase, hand painted in blue on an elegant pear shaped porcelain body, a signed piece by widely respected Japanese master porcelain artist in the Imari-Arita tradition and 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, a large lidded jar in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. This exquisite large porcelain vase depicts a beautiful blue maple leaf pattern in "washizume" technique. "Washizome" (Japanese paper dyeing) is a dyeing technique using Japanese paper with water-absorbing properties cut into the shape and size of the pattern on an unglazed porcelain base. By repeating the same process the artist can express subtle shades of color, and will end up with a gentler impression than painting with a brush. “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 artist's profile is available upon request. This large porcelain decorative vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 13 in, D 11.5 in.

  • Rare and Large Japanese Porcelain Vase Makuzu Kozan
    By Makuzu Kozan
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A striking blue and white vase from the studio of Japanese Potter Makuzu Kozan, also known as Miyagawa Kozan (1842–1916), one of the most established and collected ceramist from Meiji Period. Born as Miyagawa Toranosuke, Kozan established his pottery studio in Yokohama around 1870s and later became one of the appointed artist to the Japanese Imperial household. His work was exhibited in many international fairs that the Meiji government participated at the turn of the century and won many grand prizes. With an impressively large size, this vase was likely made and reserved as a presentation piece for one of the many expositions the studio participated in the early 20th century. It was decorated with underglaze cobalt blue using the novel technique developed by Kozan called Fuki-e (the blow painting), in order to achieve the striking dimensional literary landscape known as "Mountain and Water". Being one of the most creative ceramists, Kozan started experimenting with new chemical colors from the West in the format of his porcelain glaze around 1880s. New colors allowed him to create underglaze designs that appeared bright, smooth and glossy. He even invented his own receipt of cobalt blue to achieve a much brighter yet softer shade, as evident on this vase. To create landscape that is realistic and dimensional, more common in the western paintings, he was inspired by the native Japanese ink painting technique developed around 1900 by Yokoyama Taikan...
