Japanese porcelain style where gold is applied on the surface
Kinrande (金襴手, literally "gold brocade") is a Japanese porcelain style where gold is applied on the surface and there are a number of variations. It originated from China during the Jiajing (1521–1566) and Wanli (1573–1620) periods of the Ming dynasty.[1][2][3]
Typically, gold was added to Chinese wucai (五彩) palette, called gosai in Japanese, which had a white base with red, green, and yellow motifs. Other types of kinrande include:[8]
multi-colored motifs and gold on a white base (赤絵金襴手 akae kinrande)
red base, multi-colored motifs and gold (赤地金襴手 akaji kinrande)
One of the artists specialising in kinrande was Jiro Ono (小野次郎, Ono Jiro) (1953–2010), the second son of Hakuko Ono (小野珀子, Ono Hakuko), herself a renowned artist of yūri-kinsai.[9][10][11]
