Japanese Contemporary Blue Platinum Pink Porcelain Matcha Tea Bowl by Master, 3

This mesmerizing matcha tea bowl boasts a textured deep blue body that serves as a canvas for a scene of stunning flower and foliage pattern presented in pink, green and blue, gracefully decorating the surface of this magnificent piece. The inside of the match bowl decorated with dimpled platinum adds another layer of elegance to this piece.

As shown in the images this matcha tea bowl is from a collection of this master artist’s signature matcha tea bowls, some with platinum on the inside, some entirly in platinum or gold, and some entirly in porcelain. These pieces are highly collectible.

“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 unique porcelain match tea bowl boasting a textured platinum on the inside comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist.
