What is the difference between Imari and Satsuma?

Imari pieces are made of porcelain with a characteristic blue, red, and gold palette. They possess a resonant ring when tapped and a smooth glazed surface. Satsuma pieces utilise an earthenware body covered in a fine crackle-glaze. They carry dense polychrome and gilt painting often depicting figures or landscapes.

How do I identify a koro?

A koro is specifically designed as an incense burner, featuring a pierced or vented cover to let smoke escape. They frequently rest on three or more small feet. Standard jars and vases have solid, unperforated covers meant to seal the interior.

Are these pieces strictly antique?

The selection includes items produced across multiple centuries, stretching from the Edo period through the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Many date to the late nineteenth century during the Meiji period. Each listing records its specific period based on style and manufacturing characteristics.

How should I display a lidded jar?

These vessels require a stable, level surface capable of supporting their weight, particularly the larger nineteenth-century examples. Placing them away from direct sunlight protects the enamel and gilding. Keep the lid and base together as a matched set to preserve the historical integrity of the piece.
