Japanese Blue Purple Gold Porcelain Vase by Master Artist, 6

About the Item

Exceptional Japanese contemporary decorative vase, intricately gilded and hand-painted in blue and purple on a beautifully shaped porcelain body with generous gold details, a signed masterpiece by highly acclaimed master porcelain artist. In 2016, the British Museum added a work by this artist to its collection of contemporary Japanese Porcelain in thr Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. This artist's profile is available upon request. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional work. 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 strikingly beautiful piece depicts a gaggle of mallard ducks in a pond bordered by purple irises in full bloom. The ducks are represented in blue underglaze to maximize the impact of the stunning raised enameling of the iris blossoms and an auspicious fish scale pattern done extremely intricately in gold on a stunning blue background. The seamless fish scale pattern represents waves, the illusion of a peaceful pond in the early days of summer. “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 stunning porcelain piece comes in a custom-made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 12 in D, 12 in.
