Miniature Japanese Satsuma Porcelain Gourd Shaped Cabinet Vase Meiji Era
About the Item
This rare and unusual gourd-shaped miniature Satsuma porcelain cabinet vase is a remarkable example of Meiji-era craftsmanship. Though unsigned, the vase showcases exceptional artistry with its intricate detailing, narrative scenes, and lavish gilt embellishments.
The vase features two primary hand-painted story windows. One depicts a family of four traveling through a serene landscape, their traditional attire and gestures rendered with remarkable precision. The second window portrays a poignant scene of a child departing from home, framed by a finely painted house and an expansive, detailed landscape in the background. The emotional depth and narrative complexity of these vignettes are characteristic of Satsuma ware’s storytelling artistry.
Between the main windows, smaller story panels bridge the design, contributing additional layers of narrative while maintaining harmony in the overall composition. The vase is further adorned with elaborate floral and foliate motifs that span its surface, highlighted by extensive gilt detailing that adds texture and opulence to the piece.
The gourd-shaped form, a symbol of good fortune in Japanese culture, enhances the uniqueness of the vase, while the precision of its decoration reflects the dedication and skill of Meiji-era artisans.
A stunning and highly collectible work of art, this Satsuma vase is a testament to the exceptional quality and narrative beauty of Meiji-era porcelain, making it a cherished addition to any collection of fine Japanese ceramics or decorative arts.
