About the Item
Exquisite Japanese contemporary porcelain Mizusashi water Lidded Jar in a stunning dimpled body, adorned with hand painted clusters of cherry blossoms in iron red, set against a dimpled background in gold, a masterpiece by widely respected master porcelain artist in the Imari-Arita style and the recipient of numerous awards for his exceptional porcelain work and his unique 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. His profile is available upon request.
Mizusashi is a lidded fresh water jar used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony to replenish the boiling kettle and rinse the tea bowls. First to enter and last to leave the tea ceremony room, the mizusashi serves as a focal point in the aesthetic scheme of an otherwise somber and meditative ceremony with a history that goes back more than ten centuries.
In the dimpling process, the unfired porcelain shell is impressed with hundreds of dimples to which gold is applied 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. The elegant shape, the dimples and the striking cherry blossoms in red-iron appearing in clusters throughout the vase, make this a truly memorable piece and testimony to his unique gold and platinum work on porcelain.
"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.
This exceptional gilded porcelain piece comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist.
