For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A finely matched pair of Japanese Kyoto-school Satsuma vases signed Hakusan (??), produced c. 1890–1915. Each vase displays an elegant ovoid body with gently flared rim and a brocade shoulder border composed of fan-shaped panels filled with diaper and wave motifs in blue, apricot, and gilt. Beneath, cascading wisteria blooms frame scenes of bijin and children strolling among chrysanthemums and reeds.

The painting is crisp, the palette harmonious, and the gold lavishly but precisely applied with fine moriage highlights. Bases carry neat black-and-gold Hakusan cartouches.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Kyoto Satsuma ware refers to Japanese earthenware produced primarily during the Meiji period, characterised by a cream-coloured crackle glaze, hand-painted enamel decoration, and detailed gilded accents.

Traditional Satsuma pieces are constructed from fine earthenware clay featuring a clear crackled glaze finish, embellished with polychrome overglaze enamels and applied gold leaf.

Authentic Meiji-era Satsuma can be identified by fine-line crackle glaze, detailed miniature enamel painting, soft-toned earthenware bodies, and maker marks painted on the base.

Displaying a pair of Satsuma vases on a sideboard top or mantelpiece creates a focused architectural display, pairing traditional craftsmanship with minimalist or classic backdrops.

Clean Satsuma ceramics using a dry microfibre duster or soft brush, avoiding chemical solvents, abrasive pads, or immersion in water to preserve the delicate enamel and gilding.
