Japanese Contemporary Blue White Porcelain Vase by Master Artist

About the Item

Elegant Japanese contemporary decorative porcelain vase, intricately hand painted in cobalt blue underglaze on a stunningly shaped porcelain body, a signed masterpiece by widely acclaimed award-winning master porcelain artist from the historic 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. The artist's profile is available upon request. What sets his work apart is his extremely fine brushwork and unique techniques for incorporating precious metals – gold, platinum and silver – in his creations. This artist's profile is available upon request. The intricate wave motif in cobalt blue underglaze is accentuated with the auspicious tai or sea bream that is considered the king of fish, a beloved fish at any celebration. “Fired-on gold,” his 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 elegant porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 9.5 in D 9 in.
