Antique Japanese Satsuma Porcelain Moon Flask Vase Decorated With Peacocks

About the Item

Satsuma ware has been produced since the 1600's and has a very distinct elaborately decorated body often with geometric enamel works throughout. Some of the most elaborate pieces made during the Edo and Meiji periods of Japan's history. Collectors of Satsuma ware look for the masterful works and vases of importance. This vase which likely dates to the Meiji period of Satsuma ware has a traditional moon flask design, decorated with vibrant and finely enameled peacocks under cherry blossom trees to one side and a cherry blossom tree with birds to the verso. Heavily gold work encompasses the entire vase and a pair of foo dogs flank the neck. It appears to have a mark to underside but is either unfinished or unidentifiable.

  • 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...
