Platinum Gilt Porcelain Vase by Japanese Master Artist

About the Item

Exquisite contemporary large dimpled platinum-gilded porcelain vase, an exceptional piece crafted, hand painted and signed by a widely acclaimed master 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. This stunning ovoid vase boasts a dimpled platinum-gilded body that serves as a canvas for a beautiful array of morning glory flowers in full bloom presented in vivid red, yellow and purple. “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. The unfired porcelain shell is impressed with hundreds of dimples, to which gold and platinum areapplied at the final stage of production. The dimples are designed to accentuate the luster of the precious metals by varying the thickness of application and allowing the cratering to convey a sense of depth. This large gilded orcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 13 in D 11 in.
