Early Japanese Satsuma Antique Vase
By Satsuma
Located in Atlanta, GA
An Satsuma ceramic stone ware vase, circa 19th century, around the end of the Edo and the beginning of Meiji period. In the form of a Classic garlic bottle whose prototype was from China, the white bodied piece is decorated with an early form of kin nishikide, the so called golden brocade, a palette of iron-red, blue, green, yellow, purple and black with golden highlight. The over glazed enamel paint shows a group of robed figures in a garden setting with a lion and three tigers. A transparent overall glaze shows very fine crackles. The design is relatively sparse with plenty of negative space in contrast to the Satsuma production from the late 19th century, when the trend became fussy and overly glitz, due to the influence by the perceived western taste for the export market. This piece may still be made for export but its pattern was more influenced by both Kyoto Pottery and the Kano school of painting compared to the export ware by the end of the 19th century onward to the early 20th century. It was believed by many that this was a result of Satsuma potters visiting Kyoto in the late seventeenth century to learn over glaze painting techniques. There are some age glaze crackles especially around the foot. The piece is not signed in keeping with the earlier production before Satsuma ceramics...

The Kinkōzan were a famous family of Kyoto Awataguchi potters who made ceramics that were used at Shōren'in, a temple closely tied to the imperial family, and by the shoguns of the Edo government. In fact the shogun is said to have granted them the name Kinkōzan. With the upheavals at the end of the Edo period, however, and the reforms of the subsequent Meiji government, the potters lost their traditional patrons and had to develop new markets. Just at that time, the visit of a certain Westerner is said to have decided them to embark on overseas trade. By 1870, they had perfected Kyō Satsuma...

    Satsuma porcelain or pottery includes a maker’s mark with the name of the person who made the item. Japanese numbers may also indicate that a Satsuma piece was part of a collection. Genuine Satsuma pieces will not have a “Made in Japan” label and should only include Japanese characters. When in doubt, work with a certified appraiser to determine the authenticity of your Satsuma piece. Find a variety of expertly vetted Satsuma porcelain and pottery collectibles on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    One way to tell if your Satsuma vase is valuable is to look for markings on it. The oldest and typically most expensive pieces will usually have the Shimazu family crest — a circle with a cross through it — hand-painted on the bottom. If the piece is stamped with the marking or says "Made in Japan" in the Roman alphabet, it is a newer vase. Factors like the style of the vase and its condition will also impact its price. It's a good idea to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer evaluate your vase to determine its value. Find a variety of Satsuma vases on 1stDibs.
