Satsuma Footed Bowl Burner, Japan, C. 1920

1900 - 1920
Description

A square tripod incense burner or perfume burner in Satsuma porcelain, richly decorated in polychrome and gold enamels. The upper half of the bowl's circumference features drawings of four scenes: a group of girls studying in kimonos, haloed figures of masters gathered around a child (their pupil) in front of a pagoda, a family gathered in a house, and a group of haloed scholars. Each face is carefully drawn to look natural. The lower part of the bowl is decorated with a pattern of three ball-shaped pieces. The Satsuma clan mark, slightly worn, is on the base. This piece is export ware, made for Europe or the USA.

The bowl is an earthenware piece with enamel overglaze adorned with multicolored and gilded decorations, and is of a type often referred to as Satsuma ware. Satsuma ware pieces were originally developed in Japan during the seventeenth century, specifically in the southern regions of the Japanese island of Kyushu. The name comes from the region controlled by the Shimazu clan (Satsuma-han - officially Kagoshima and surrounding areas). The history dates back to around 1600 when Satsuma pottery was generally plain and made from dark clay, very different from the 19th-century pieces made for export to the West.

Dimensions: Height: 7 cm, Width: 13.6 cm, Depth: 13.6 cm, Weight: 459 grams

Condition: Minor loss of coloring and gilding consistent with age.

Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance. It is important to note that shipping costs include labor, packaging, and postage.

FAQs

Satsuma pottery originated in Satsuma province, Japan, during the late 16th century and gained global popularity during the Meiji and Taisho periods for export. It is characterised by its distinctive ivory-coloured earthenware body, finely crackled glaze, and elaborate polychrome and gilt decoration.

Satsuma ware is constructed from low-fired earthenware glazed with a clear lead glaze that produces a signature fine crackle finish, often embellished with polychrome enamels and gold leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces display a subtle crackle glaze pattern, dense hand-painted polychrome decoration featuring figures, landscapes, or flora, alongside gilded details and frequently a makers mark or Shimazu family crest on the base.

Place Satsuma vessels on a console table, mantelpiece, or bookshelf to act as decorative focal points, pairing them with natural textures or dark wood furniture to complement their intricate gilded patterns.

Clean Satsuma ceramics gently using a soft, dry cloth or soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Avoid immersion in water or chemical detergents, as these can degrade the delicate overglaze enamels and gilding.
