Japanese Contemporary Gold Leaf Brown Framed Porcelain Panel by Master Artist, 3

The three generations of the Kosan Kiln located in the Imari-Arita region of southern Japan (starting in 19th century,) have been experimenting and perfecting techniques featuring gold foil for seven decades. Inspired by centuries-old kinrande (gold enameled porcelain) styles of Imari, the artists have developed a technique known as haku-yui (braided foils) that combines high purity gold, platinum and silver foils to create a shimmering palette of light and color. Silver foil is used exclusively as a substrate for expressing a wide spectrum of vivid colors. Foils of differing material and color are applied separately and at the rate of “one shade per day” in a process reminiscent of multi-color woodblock printing, implying that the addition of each new shade exponentially increases the time and complexity of production.

This mesmerizing gold leaf porcelain framed porcelain panel comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist.
