Description
For sale is a stunning Japanese porcelain vase by the celebrated Kutani master Nakata Kazuyu (also read as Nakata Kazuo, born 1949). Nakata is a designated Intangible Cultural Property Holder of Ishikawa Prefecture and is world-renowned for his mastery of the Yuri-Ginsai (underglaze silver leaf) technique. This piece features his signature "Pale Blue" (Tansei) glaze. The artist meticulously applies cut silver leaf in geometric patterns onto the vessel before firing it with a transparent pale blue glaze. The result is a mesmerizing, gem-like surface where the silver shimmers beneath the "ice crackle" texture. Details: • Artist: Nakata Kazuyu (中田一於) – Award-winning Kutani artist. • Technique: Yuri-Ginsai (Underglaze Silver Leaf) with crackle glaze. • Color: Pale Blue / Turquoise (Tansei). • Mark: Signed on the bottom in iron red: "Kutani Kazuyu" (九谷一於). • Origin: Japan (Kutani Ware). • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs visible. Please see photos for close-ups of the glaze and signature.
