The vessel is shaped in a subtle rin-bana form, its softly undulating rim creating a gentle floral rhythm when viewed from above. The profile is low and poised, with a carefully balanced foot that gives the cup both stability and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface is richly decorated in polychrome enamels layered with gold and silver accents. Deep blues and purplish tones interlock with darker passages, forming a faceted, almost geometric composition that wraps around the exterior and continues into the interior. The metallic highlights catch the light delicately, adding depth and luminosity without overpowering the underlying color fields. A fine gilt line traces the rim, crisply defining the silhouette and reinforcing the sense of precision and finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior echoes the exterior palette, creating a cohesive visual experience when the cup is held and tilted. The foot is left in exposed clay, providing a warm contrast to the dense, jewel like surface above and grounding the piece materially. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.8cm(h) x 9.6cm(w) x 9.7cm(d)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFootnote\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaeda Masahiro, born in 1948 in Kyoto Prefecture, is a leading contemporary Japanese ceramic artist known for innovative overglaze porcelain. After graduating from the Tokyo University of the Arts and completing its graduate program, he developed a distinctive approach that departs from traditional iro-e methods. From the late 1980s, he began using low glass Western pigments layered, scraped, and masked to create richly textured gold and silver decorated surfaces, a technique he calls yōsai. A full member of the Japan Kōgei Association, Maeda has exhibited widely in Japan and internationally and remains an influential figure in modern Japanese ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maeda Masahiro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56374215836034,"sku":"JP383","price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/3830\/4706\/files\/Maeda_Masahiro_JP383-10.jpg?v=1771221795"}],"url":"https:\/\/orientalteabox.com\/zh\/collections\/maeda-masahiro-%e5%89%8d%e7%94%b0%e6%ad%a3%e5%8d%9a.oembed","provider":"OrientalTeaBox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
