This set of thirteen Satsuma earthenware plates originates from the late Meiji period around 1900 and comprises twelve smaller examples measuring 18 cm by 18 cm alongside one larger plate measuring 21.5 cm. The circular plates display a cream and gold crackle glaze decorated with polychrome enamel hand-painted landscape scenes featuring groups of Japanese men and women near a river with a central bridge. Each piece has a wide gilded patterned border edged with gold and bronze lozenges and carries marks for Shinzan. Twelve items remain in excellent condition whilst one displays a small chip on the top edge. These decorative plates suit placement on a sideboard top in a dining room or living space as traditional display items.

FAQs

Satsuma ware from the Meiji period (18681912) is renowned for its light crackle glaze, detailed polychrome enamel painting, and lavish overglaze gilding. These pieces were produced largely for Western export, often featuring intricate landscapes, historical scenes, and botanical motifs.

Traditional Satsuma ceramics are made from a yellowish earthenware body covered with a clear or ivory-tinted crackle glaze. The surface decoration incorporates delicate coloured enamels and pure gold leaf gilding applied in multiple precise firings.

Authentic pieces exhibit a fine, uniform crackle pattern across the clear glaze, precise hand-painted line work, and raised enamel textures. Many authentic export items bear a Japanese maker signature, trademark, or the Shimazu clan crest on the underside.

Set individual plates on acrylic display stands along a console table, arrange them inside an illuminated glass cabinet, or mount the full set as a geometric gallery wall display to add texture and historical interest to modern spaces.

Dust the ceramics gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid immersing the pieces in water or using abrasive chemical detergents, as moisture and friction can erode overglaze gilding and delicate enamels over time.
