About the Item

An exceptional museum-quality porcelain vase, intricately hand-painted, gilded, and dimpled to showcase cherry blossoms in iron red across a uniquely shaped body. The piece is signed by a widely respected master porcelain artist; in 2016, the British Museum added a large lidded jar by this same artist, in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition, to its collection of contemporary Japanese porcelain, and he has received numerous further awards for his work and his gold and platinum technique. Few motifs carry more weight in Japanese art than the cherry blossom, or sakura. Its brief, intense bloom each spring has long stood as the defining image of mono no aware, an awareness of the beauty inherent in impermanence and centuries of flower-viewing gatherings, have made the sight of sakura in bloom one of the most widely shared seasonal rituals in Japanese culture. Here, clusters of blossoms in iron red appear against a gold ground rather than the platinum seen elsewhere in the artist's dimpled series, giving the flowers a warmer, more luminous setting that suits the color's intensity. The dimpling technique follows the artist's established method: the unfired porcelain shell is impressed with hundreds of small craters, to which gold and platinum are applied at the final stage of production. The varying thickness of metal across each dimple, and the depth created by the cratering itself, accentuate the luster of the precious metals far beyond what a flat gilded surface could achieve. As with the artist's other signature work, the piece is executed in "fired-on gold": the polychrome overglaze is fired at roughly 800°C, followed by gold and platinum applied and fired again at a slightly lower temperature to preserve their luster, with a single piece undergoing as many as five to ten firings before completion. The vase comes in a custom wooden case (tomobako) signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 11 in × D 11 in
