About the Item

This extraordinary square form Satsuma vase with a circular top is adorned with Buddhist monks and signed on the underside “Great Japan, Satsuma, Hododa.” This represents the highly collectible and prominent maker of Satsuma ware, Hododa, who was active during the Meiji period. It is also marked with the Shimazu family crest, or mon. The vase, painted in a deep red glaze and adorned with gold gilding, showcases monks depicted with golden halos, a popular design sought-after by collectors. Satsuma ware, a jewel of Japan’s Meiji era, has enchanted the world’s collectors for over a century and a half with its signature style of intricate overglaze enameling and subtle gilding. This exquisite art form, which originated near Kagoshima Prefecture on Kyushu Island, was first created by Korean craftsmen for the local nobility. It gained international fame after being showcased at the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Today, it is still celebrated and coveted by collectors across the world. Signed “Great Japan, Satsuma, Hododa” with the Shimazu family crest Meiji period (1868-1912) 7 1/2” high x 4” wide x 4” deep
