Small 20th Century Japanese Millefleur Satsuma Vase with Shimazu Crest

About the Item

A round vase decorated with various flowers, colorful chrysanthemum-filled ground emulating the Chinese style of porcelain known as mille fleur. Each leaf and detail with a fine gold outline. Signed underneath with additional Shimanzu crest. Millefleur (million flower), and complex filled in patterns. Many pieces featured panels depicting typical Japanese scenes to appeal to the west such as pagodas, cherry blossom, birds and flowers and beautiful ladies and noble men in traditional dress. The height of popularity for Satsuma was the Meiji Period and many of the most beautiful and artistically accomplished works were made during this time. Shimazu family crest The Shimazu family were the rulers of Satsuma in the Meiji/Taisho period so their mark (a circle with a cross in it) will often appear on pieces from this time.
