Red Green Gold Porcelain Vase by Contemporary Japanese Master Artist

About the Item

Mesmerizing contemporary decorative porcelain vase, intricately hand-painted and gilded on a stunning progression of hexagons on a beautifully shaped porcelain body in red and green, a signed masterpiece by highly acclaimed award-winning master porcelain artist of the Imari-Arita region of Japan (1931-2009). This piece was part of a collection of this artist's lifelong works that remained in his kiln and was recently released by his two sons who continue to manage the kiln. This exceptional artist was widely admired for his depiction of scenes of nature and extremely intricate geometric patterns. His legacy lives on through his two sons, acclaimed porcelain artists in their own right, each of whom specializes in one aspect of their father’s style. This contemporary porcelain vase features an astonishing intricate hexagonal pattern that fully covers the entire body of the vase, growing progressively smaller as it approaches the top and the base. Each hexagon encapsulates a paulownia leaf-and-flower design widely used in family crests in Japan. This particular design is known as the “5-3 paulownia crest” that combines three leaves with an inflorescence of 3-5-3 flowers. Blue and gold bands highlight the hexagons to accentuate the iron red background. This exquisite piece comes in the original wooden box signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 10.5 in, D 9 in.

  • Japanese Red Green Gold Porcelain Vase by Contemporary Master Artist
    Located in Takarazuka, JP
    Exquisite contemporary Japanese porcelain decorative vase, intricately gilded and hand painted in vivid red, green and deep blue on an elegantly shaped ovoid porcelain body, a signed work 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. The petals flying in the wind say that the brief flower-viewing period is soon coming to an end, and are a reminder of how precious and short life is. “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 piece depicts a whimsical interpretation of a cherry tree with its graceful trunk in beautiful deep blue and its hanging branches stretching across the whole body of this stunningly shaped vase, and blossoms in deep blue, red and purple hanging...
