This matched pair of Kyoto Satsuma earthenware vases belongs to the late Meiji period of the 19th century. Decorated in cream, gold, red, orange and turquoise, the cylindrical bodies display hand-painted continuous river landscapes complete with distant pagodas, rising hills and autumn maple branches, all set against a finely crackled glaze surface with gilded rims and brocade-style patterned borders around the neck and foot. One vase has an old, neatly executed restoration to the footrim, whilst the companion vase shows very light rubbing to the gilding on the rim. Each vase measures 18.4 cm high and 10.3 cm wide. Suited to both traditional and modern interiors, these decorative vessels sit comfortably on a mantelpiece or side table to bring colour and historical character to a living room, study or hallway display.

FAQs

Satsuma earthenware originates from Japan and is characterised by a cream-coloured crackle-glazed body decorated with polychrome enamels and gilded details. During the Meiji period (18681912), production expanded significantly to cater to export markets, often featuring complex landscapes, figures, and botanical motifs.

These ceramics were crafted using a low-fired earthenware body coated with a clear, finely crackled lead glaze. Decorators applied hand-painted overglaze enamels and gold leaf paint to create intricate architectural and natural compositions.

Authentic pieces feature fine crackle glaze networks, precise gilding, and hand-painted execution rather than modern transfer prints. They frequently carry maker or workshop signatures painted in red or gold on the base, sometimes accompanied by the circular Shimazu family crest.

Satsuma vases function as accent pieces when placed on dark wood sideboards, marble mantels, or within styled shelving units. Displaying them as a matched pair creates visual symmetry while introducing historic patterns and warm tones into modern rooms.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush to protect the delicate gilding. Avoid submerging low-fired earthenware in water or applying abrasive chemical cleaners, as moisture can seep into the crackle glaze and loosen overglaze enamels.
