What periods do these vases come from?

Where were Satsuma vases produced?

Satsuma wares originated in the Satsuma Province of Kyushu, Japan, though production later expanded to major urban centres like Kobe and Kyoto. These pieces typically display characteristic crackle-glazed earthenware decorated with figures, birds, and floral motifs.
