Japanese, Contemporary Blue Pink Porcelain Match Tea Cup by Master Artist, 2

Hydrangeas with intricate details decorate the surface of this remarkable cup and continue to decorate the inside of the cup.

“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. The artist’s profile is available upon request.

This elegant gilded porcelain matcha tea cup comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist.

Dimensions: H 3 in D 5.5 in.
