Description

An antique Japanese hand-painted Satsuma pictorial crackle plate produced by Koshida factory during the Meiji period. This beautifully detailed plate depicts a classic natural landscape with a pagoda, river, bridge, and mountains in the distance. The plate is signed on the bottom by Koshida and features a cross signifying the patronage of the powerful Shimazu family, who historically ruled the Satsuma area, further enhancing its collectible value. Koshida is a well-known and a prolific Satsuma pottery maker that has been producing ceramics since the Meiji era (1868-1912). It is particularly renowned for its intricate designs, delicate color palette, and use of gold embellishments. Koshida Satsuma pieces often depict scenes from Japanese folklore, history, and mythology, as well as everyday life. Koshida Satsuma pieces can be identified by their signature "Koshida" mark on the base, which is typically written in kanji characters. Koshida production was decorated by some of the best artists and bears their marks as well as Koshida's. These pieces are highly collectible and can be quite valuable, particularly those produced during the Meiji era, which are considered to be of the highest quality. Koshida factory was closed in 1927.The business seems to have reopened post war, either by a family member or by someone simply using a well-known name as a cachet. Koshida products are highly valued in the antique porcelain market, with increasing demand in recent years.

FAQs

Satsuma ware is a type of Japanese pottery originating from Satsuma Province in Kagoshima Prefecture, traditionally characterised by an ivory-coloured, crackled glaze and elaborate polychrome and gilt enamel decoration. While its roots date back to the late 16th century, the pieces most commonly collected today stem from the Meiji period (18681912), when production expanded significantly for the Western export market.

Traditional Satsuma pieces are crafted from earthenware or fine ceramic bodies covered with a transparent, highly crackled glaze known as kannyu. The intricate designs are hand-painted using mineral-based enamel pigments, often heavily accented with raised gold leaf or moriage gilding to create rich, textured surface patterns.

Authentication involves examining the fineness of the hand-painted brushwork, the presence of genuine crackle in the glaze, and the weight of the ceramic body. Many authentic Meiji-era pieces feature artist or kiln signatures, often hand-painted on the base in gold or red enamel, though expert appraisal is recommended to distinguish period pieces from later reproductions.

Antique Satsuma plates bring global history and intricate craftsmanship to modern interiors and can be displayed using specialised plate stands on bookshelves, mounted securely on walls as art, or featured atop cabinets and sideboards as statement decorative accents.

To preserve antique ceramics, keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of the delicate enamel colours and gold leaf. Clean only with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth, avoiding water immersion, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials that could compromise the fragile glaze and crackle pattern.
