Koi Slate by Peter Enfield - Doitsu Goshiki.  The slates being auctioned to support KHV all come from the artist's personal collection and are unique - you'll never find an identical slate. 
 
A Koi Slate by Peter Enfield Koi Slate is approximately 24 inches tall and koi inlay is about 15 inches tall. His passion as an artist and koi hobbyist has made Peter internationally known for the beautiful koi slates that he has made. Peter has developed a technique that allows him to take the photo of a specific koi, scale it to the size of the slate to be used. Then working the slate with tools to create the outer frame for the fused glass koi that will emerge from the center of the slate. There are many steps that Peter’s hands perform as an artist that provide the final beautiful slate artwork that are sought after internationally. Peter starts with a photograph of a Grand Champion Koi to create his glass patterns. He takes a beautiful piece of gray slate and carves out the powerful koi shape. Next he takes special fusible stained glass and cuts it into the koi's unique patterns. The pieces of cut glass are put together like a jigsaw puzzle and then fired in a special glass kiln to fuse it into a solid glass koi. Then the fused glass koi is fitted into the indentation in the prepared piece of slate to create an extraordinarily beautiful and unique piece of koi art. Unlike our perishable pets, Peter's koi art is timeless. His koi colors will never fade. The vibrant reds, porcelain whites, and shiny ebony blacks are perfect. Peter creates the beautiful image of Grand Champion koi floating on the surface of a deep dark crystal clear pond. Many koi hobbyists, koi professionals and international breeders have been trying to obtain one of Peter's koi/slate art pieces for years, however; Peter does not sell his creations. Until recently, one way to get one of Peter's koi slates was to win the Annual AKCA Bob Spindola, Champion of Champions, Award. This award and accompanying piece of Peter's koi art is given to the top Koi chosen from photos of all the Grand Champion Koi winners at Koi shows in the USA. Not an easy thing to accomplish. You might also get one of Peter's koi slates at a special auction at events like the annual AKCA National Seminar. Peter has donated these beautiful slates to koi associations and clubs to honor special dignitaries and to be used as fundraisers at auctions of clubs. Peter’s most recent and generous donation and gift was to provide slates to the Associated Koi Clubs of America (AKCA) – KHV Project. This is Peter’s way of providing funding for the education and research in the eradication of KHV to the koi hobby. This is your opportunity to own one of Peter's unique pieces of koi art and help the AKCA PROJECT KHV at the same time. Once these slates are gone, they undoubtedly will become collector items in the koi world. At this time it is not known if Peter will make additional slates available. Previous slates have been auctioned as high as $3100.
