Description

A refined late-Meiji Kyoto Satsuma vase with a vertical, flared-neck profile. The main frieze shows a courtly procession with attendants and karako boys; the fabrics read as brocaded patchworks of minute diapers, mons and cloud scrolls. Borders packed with raised enamel dotting; warm café-au-lait crackle to the ivory ground. Gold is abundant yet well-judged (matte and bright), giving depth across the scene. Discreet decorator’s katakana mark ???? to the footrim—typical Kyoto finishing practice. UV-checked and sound.
