About the Item

We present an exceptional Satsuma porcelain urn or covered vase from the Japanese Meiji era (1868-1912). Its splendor and uniqueness are undeniable. The lidded jar is richly decorated with enamel and hand-painted Lohan scenes with gilt accents and has upturned handles and a lid with a Foo dog or dragon figural finial. The urn is raised on three shaped legs with animal heads joined to the body and terminating in paw feet. There is an old, faded artist's signature on the interior edge of the lid. The vase is in good condition, with a tiny hairline on the inner side of the lid. The airline is not crossing through, and it does not significantly affect the overall appearance since it is not visible from the outside. Check the two close-up pictures for information. Measurements: 12.63 in wide (32 cm) x 8.69 in deep (22 cm) x 18.50 in high (47 cm). Note: Mahayana Buddhism regarded a group of Eighteen Arhats (with different names and personalities) as awaiting the return of the Buddha as Maitreya. Other groupings of six, eight, sixteen, hundred, and five hundred characters appear in tradition and Buddhist art, especially in East Asia, and are called luohan or lohan. One can see them as the Buddhist equivalents of the Christian Saints, apostles, or early disciples and leaders of the faith. (Credit: Wikipedia)
