Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this exceptionally well painted Meiji Period (1868-1912), Satsuma vase from the highly regarded Kinkozan studios. This baluster shaped vase is predominantly decorated in cobalt blue adorned with lavish gilt and silver trailing flora of a style instantly recognisable as a work from the higher echelons of the Kinkozan studios. The pair of opposing panels are gilded in relief in a Moriage style , the first panel depicts a very complex battle scene with Samurai in lavish armour, by contrast the reverse displays a tranquil scene of bijins and children within a pavillion and garden setting, once again the kimono lavishly decorated in relief to an exacting standard. The underside of the vase bears a crisp gilt signature for Kinkozan as well as a factory seal. A super example that looks to have been cabinet kept since new.

FAQs

Satsuma ware is a type of Japanese earthenware originating from Satsuma Province in Kyushu, gaining international prominence during the late Edo and Meiji periods for its intricate polychrome and gilt enamel decoration.

Satsuma ware is typically crafted from a buff-coloured, finely crackled earthenware clay, hand-painted with detailed mineral pigments, and heavily embellished with raised gold leaf and enamels.

Authentic pieces feature a distinct network of fine glaze crackles, meticulous hand-painted figural or floral scenes, and often carry artisan or workshop seals on the base, such as those associated with the Kinkozan kiln.

Position the vessel as a solitary focal point on a dark wood console table or mantelpiece, allowing the rich cobalt blue and gold detailing to contrast cleanly against neutral architectural backgrounds.

Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using water, chemical cleaners, or abrasive materials to protect the delicate surface enamels and fragile gilt work.
