Gillers Antiques Ltd has dated this Antique Satsuma Vase to the 1890s.
The surface depicts a serene landscape with a cherry tree in bloom, a tiered pagoda, thatched-roof houses, and a flowing stream. In the distance, Mount Fuji rises along the horizon — a classic symbol of Japan often included in export wares of the period to evoke cultural identity and harmony. The upper neck is framed with a geometric border in red and gold. The underside bears a rectangular red and gold cartouche reading Heian (??), referencing Kyoto’s classical name and indicating the origin from a Kyoto-based workshop during the late 19th century.
This is a fine and well-preserved example of Kyoto Satsuma porcelain, notable for its small scale, hand-painted details, and symbolic composition.
