Satsuma earthenware appeared at the 16th century in Japan on Satsuma lands. This kind of ceramics is characterized by a wide range of shapes evolving through time and ovens used. Two types of Satsuma exist: White background Satsuma and black background. Blacks were more frequently used for tea ceremonies and keeping some liquids such alcohols. Satsuma potters developed circa 1800 a sophisticated polychrome enamel technique in orange and red shades and quickly add into it gilt highlights, the whole ensemble was later the most Satsuma style known, named the « Brocade », widely produced during the MEIJI period (1868-1912).
Decorative patterns are inspired by Kano school paintings in vegetal, animals and human representations but are also combined with abstract geometrical patterns. The composition is often emphasis without a lot of space and loves to play with accumulation of enamels and gilt highlights, conveying a certain way of richness to the ware.
