Japanese Satsuma Moriage Porcelain Tea Set, Set for Six, Japan
By Satsuma
Located in Milano, IT
Japanese Satsuma Moriage Porcelain Tea Set, 19th Century An exceptionally decorative and highly evocative Japanese Satsuma Moriage porcelain tea service, dating from the 19th century, consisting of a teapot, creamer, sugar bowl, and six teacups with matching saucers. This elegant set immediately catches the eye with its richly ornamented surfaces, where deep tones, luminous gilding, and finely hand-painted figural motifs come together in a composition of extraordinary visual impact. Each piece is carefully adorned with traditional Japanese figures—likely inspired by courtly or legendary subjects—framed within intricate decorative cartouches and surrounded by elaborate ornamental motifs. A particularly noteworthy feature of this service is the use of the Moriage technique, characterized by its delicate raised enamel decoration, which creates a softly sculptural, almost three-dimensional surface. This refined treatment enhances the depth and texture of the decoration, giving each element a precious and tactile quality. The interplay between the rich gilding, the polychrome accents, and the relief work demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship associated with Satsuma ware. The set is further enhanced by a series of beautifully rendered details: elegantly shaped handles, finely decorated spouts, and especially the expressive finials modeled in zoomorphic form, which give the lidded pieces a distinctive and dramatic presence. The contrast between the richly decorated exterior and the lighter-toned interior of the cups adds an additional sense of balance and refinement. Each piece contributes to a harmonious and visually opulent ensemble, reflecting the fascination with Japanese decorative arts that flourished during the Meiji period and beyond. More than just a tea set, this is a work of art worthy of display—an object capable of enhancing a cabinet, salon, or formal interior with its character, elegance, and historical significance. This set, which originated in a private home in Milan, is in good overall antique condition, with minor flaws and signs of age consistent with its age and use. These slight imperfections do not detract from its beauty; rather, they speak to its authenticity and its history. Elegant, rare, and highly decorative, this Satsuma tea service...

1980s Memphis Milano Porcelain Vase
By Memphis Group, Matteo Thun, Memphis Milano
Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL
A 1980s Memphis Milano ‘Garda’ amphora vessel in white porcelain, designed by Matteo Thun in 1982. Memphis Milano formed in the 1980s as a response to the rather formulaic design principles of the Mid-Century Modern style. The group’s over-the-top, maximalistic designs were the epitome of kitsch, yet the public responded enthusiastically to this new style that in many ways became the aesthetic of the 80s. The Memphis Group’s playful approach to design history is evident in this large 'Garda' amphora, designed by Matteo Thun in 1982. While described as an "amphora" and thus certainly a conscious reference to Antiquity, the object does not bear any physical or functional resemblance to an Ancient Greek vessel. Dimensions: 15 1/2 in. H x 10 3/4 in. W x 6 3/4 in. D Condition: Excellent. Provenance: Estate of John 'Parker' Prindle, Jr., Boston, MA References: Memphis: Céramique, Argent, Verre, 1981-1987 ed.
