Antique Porcelain Kyoto Satsuma Vase with Handles, Japan, C. 19th

19th century
Description

This exquisite Kyoto Satsuma vase, unsigned and dating back to the late Meiji period, is a stunning example of antique Japanese craftsmanship. It features underglaze techniques, first showcased at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The vase is beautifully hand-painted with puce chrysanthemums and a vibrant motif depicting country life, highlighted in emerald green and brown.

The body of the vase presents a continuous floral pattern and scenes of rural tranquility; a fisherman with a bamboo rod and a peasant carrying bundles of brushwood, both meticulously detailed, capturing the essence of everyday life. The top and bottom of the vase are adorned with raised enamel flowers and delicate pink dots.

In 1904, Nishiura Enji was awarded a gold prize at the Saint Louis World Exposition for his pioneering work in underglaze decoration techniques using overglaze enamel beneath a transparent glaze.

Height: 29.5 cm

Top Diameter: 12.5 cm

Bottom Diameter: 11.5 cm (please check if 115 cm was a typo)

Weight: 1526 grams

Condition:

Minor loss of gilding.

A small hole drilled at the bottom, likely for a lamp cord.

A small, almost imperceptible chip on the rim.

Overall, the vase is in excellent antique condition.

This piece is a testament to the intricate artistry and unique storytelling characteristic of traditional Japanese porcelain, making it a highly coveted item among collectors worldwide.

FAQs

Kyoto Satsuma porcelain originates from Japan, emerging prominently during the Meiji period for export markets. It is characterised by a cream or light ceramic body, fine crackle glaze, and intricate overglaze polychrome enamel designs often embellished with gilded accents.

These vessels were crafted using earthenware or porcelain clay bodies, shaped on a potters wheel, and fired at high temperatures. Artisans subsequently applied hand-painted overglaze enamels and liquid gold before executing a lower-temperature secondary firing to set the decoration.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-painted polychrome decoration, finely detailed gilding, and a distinct crackle pattern within the glaze. Many items also bear painted seal marks, signatures, or workshop stamps on the base.

Position the vessel as a standalone accent piece on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or within a display cabinet. Placing it alongside minimalist or contemporary furniture highlights its detailed pattern work and historical craftsmanship.

Dust the surface regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth to protect the painted enamels. Avoid immersing the ceramic in water or applying abrasive cleaning chemical products, as moisture can breach the crackle glaze and damage delicate gilding.
