Satsuma earthenware vase by kinkozan, Meiji period

Located in Tel Aviv - Jaffa, IL
the body of this small marvelous vase is painted with a scene of a puppet show vendor with his wood backpack, on top of the backpack there are toys and dolls, he is surrounded with a group of 6 children, and on the background you can see a village.
on the other side of the vase there is an amazing painting of flowers and on the sides there are two amazing strong pine trees, the amorphous background is decorated in a "Tortoiseshell" color and design that gives it a real character and which is quite rare to see on satsuma pottery.
all the vase is over richly overpainted over the glaze with gold, which gives it its depth and realism.
