999 Pure Silver Kettle Arare
Today we will love to introduce our beautiful
artwork which won an ‘OMOTENASHI Selection award
2016’ this year.
The pattern of Arare shines with the help
of aged silver color as if small flake ice falls from the sky onto a huge rock
in a valley. The picture is so breath-taking that one can hardly move his eyes
away from this masterpiece. The knob on the tea pot lid stands a shy lily with
a bud waiting to blossom in spring; the kettle handle forms a figure-eight knot
which, in Japanese culture, is said to have human spirit in and is where the
design concept comes from. The design conveys the sincerity to the receiver and
collector.
Arare is made of a piece of pure silver by
tools passed down from Meiji Period without welding. The tea pot is in a square
shape like iron kettle, and its lid is also hammered to be of a sophisticated
and unique Arare pattern. The hammering tools were refined by the craftsmen in
Meiji Period in order to make particular patterns on silver teapots.
Using top-level, pure quality precious
metals as materials and infusing traditional Japanese culture and jewelry and
metal arts, every singular silver pot is homemade in Japan. Kyoto Zuihodo
adopts the Japanese Samurai spirit which believes that no matter how hard the
creative process is, or how long it might take, we can always overcome
ourselves, hammering delicately to finish the most perfect works of art in our
hearts and present them to collectors.
こんにちは。
本日皆様に純銀製芸術銀瓶「霰」をご紹介いたします。
こちらの作品は本年度のOMOTENASHI Selection 2016を受賞したもので、大変美しい作品でございます。京都瑞鳳堂の作品は昔から受け継がれた制法を守るために、すべて99.9%の純銀を使用し、一枚の銀板を打ち延べ成形し、模様を施すなど全工程にわたり手作りで制作しております。純銀は水質をまろやかにする特性があり、実際に使用してお湯を沸かしたり、お茶を淹れたりしていただける様、使いやすさも十分に考慮し制作いたしました。
今天我為你們介紹的是
純銀制藝術銀瓶
霰形紋.
此作品今年獲得了OMOTENASHI
Slection 2016.
古美色襯托霰形紋的耀眼,猶如眺望幽幽的山谷,霜霰飄落而降下的白色小冰粒,披覆在沉著的穹石上頭,美得令人癡醉.壺摘以靜待春日到來的百合,含苞待放的花蕾嬌嬈而佇立;最後以八字繩結的模樣作為提樑.在日本的文化中,認為繩結之處有人的靈魂,以送禮時的莊重而裝飾為創作概念,想傳達給收藏者與贈禮時的那份誠與意.
從一片純銀片開始,使用明治時期所傳承、保留下的工具,鎚打製出壺身與完美的霰形紋,完全避免了焊接.此壺器身四方如鐵瓶之壺形,沉穩內斂,壺蓋亦鎚打出精細的霰形紋.明治期所傳承下的鎚打工具,皆為當時的職人為了打造特定的銀壺紋路而一再修整而製,方能鎚打出獨有的紋理.
使用頂級、質量純粹的貴金屬為媒材,把日本傳統文化與金工藝術融為一體,每把銀壺皆為日本純手工製作,京都瑞鳳堂發揮日本武士精神,不論創作過程的艱難、耗費時間甚久,皆能戰勝自我,細膩地鎚打,為達心中期待呈現出最完美的藝術品給藏家們.
