-----------------------
This is a work by the late Shinichiro Baba, the first-generation Shinemon and founder of Shinemon Kiln, one of the leading kilns of Arita ware.
A quietly glowing landscape of gold and vermilion.
"Kinko Tenmoku" is created through the firing of specially formulated glazes containing a unique blend of various metals. Across the golden-brown ground, vivid vermilion markings emerge through the interaction of glaze and fire. The resulting surface appears as though golden flowers were blooming across the vessel, with crimson petals drifting between them.
With an impressive diameter of 29.5 cm, the vase also has a substantial weight that can be felt when held. Its distinctive broad-bodied form is low and generously expanded around the middle, creating a powerful silhouette with a sense of solidity and presence that goes beyond its brilliant colors. As light moves across the glossy surface, layers of golden brown, vermilion, and deep brown overlap in complex patterns, revealing different expressions depending on the viewing angle.
This work was created by Shinichiro Baba, the late first-generation Shinemon of Shinemon Kiln. Golden flowers brought to life by the flames of the kiln, combined with the powerful form created by the first-generation master. Even when displayed on its own, this vase possesses a commanding dignity that transforms the atmosphere of the surrounding space.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
