Description

A set of Japanese Satsuma ware six small bowls and five matching saucers. The pieces feature a light ivory earthenware body beneath a finely crackled glaze. The surface decoration, known as a "thousand flowers" (millefleur) pattern, is densely applied using polychrome enamels over a background of gold gilt. The various floral motifs, including chrysanthemums, are painted in red, blue, green, yellow, and white, with the white flower petals exhibiting a raised enamel technique called moriage. The rims of both the bowls and the saucers have a lobed or scalloped edge outlined in gold.

FAQs

Satsuma ware is a style of Japanese earthenware pottery that originated in the Satsuma province during the late sixteenth century and expanded rapidly during the Meiji period for export to Western markets.

Satsuma ceramics feature a crackle-glazed cream earthenware base decorated with detailed overglaze enamel pigments and extensive gold leaf application, often featuring dense floral motifs known as thousand flowers or millefleurs.

Authentic pieces typically feature finely crackled glaze beneath rich enamel, crisp hand-painted detail, significant gold highlights, and maker or artist marks on the base, often written in Japanese kanji or accompanied by the Shimazu clan crest.

Display these decorative bowls on a sideboard, within a glass display cabinet, or on open shelving where light highlights the intricate gilding and detailed floral enamel patterns.

Clean gently with a soft dry brush or damp microfibre cloth without using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or soaking in water, as moisture can degrade crackle glazes and friction damages hand-applied gilding.
