Miniature Japanese Satsuma Porcelain Cabinet Vase - Signed, Meiji Era

About the Item

This finely crafted miniature Satsuma porcelain cabinet vase dates to the Meiji Era and exemplifies the meticulous artistry of Japanese ceramic traditions. Delicate in scale yet rich in detail, the vase features two expertly painted scenes, each framed within cartouche-like windows, surrounded by intricate floral and gilt decoration. On one side, a serene tableau depicts two figures, one appearing to present tea to the other in a gesture of hospitality and refinement. The opposing side showcases a tender family scene, with a mother, father, and child set against a peaceful landscape. These vignettes are rendered with remarkable precision, their intricate facial expressions, textiles, and environmental details reflecting the skill of the artist. The entirety of the vase is adorned with a dense array of finely painted blossoms, complemented by gilded accents that lend an air of opulence. The warm cream ground provides a harmonious backdrop to the rich palette of colors, characteristic of Satsuma ware. The vase is signed on the underside, attesting to its provenance and craftsmanship. As a product of the Meiji Era, this piece embodies the period's emphasis on exporting exceptional decorative arts to the West, showcasing a blend of Japanese aesthetic tradition and technical mastery. Measures: 2.5" h x 1.625" w.
