Questions About Satsuma Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass
  • What is a Japanese Satsuma vase?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A type of Japanese pottery originated from Satsuma province in Japan is termed as Satsuma ware. A vase of this kind is known as a Satsuma vase. An interesting fact about Satsuma ware is that they feature a "makers mark" or marking as a key to help collectors unlock the value, age and authenticity of the piece. Shop a range of antique and vintage Japanese vases on 1stDibs.
  • How do I date a Satsuma vase?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To date a Satsuma vase, study its mark. Vases made before World War II normally feature a mark in Japanese. A vase that says "Royal Satsuma" likely dates back to the late 20th century. You'll find a variety of expertly vetted Satsuma vases on 1stDibs.
  • What is the difference between Satsuma and moriage?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between Satsuma and moriage is that the former is a type of pottery, and the latter is a technique for decorating pottery. Satsuma pottery is the term for earthenware pottery from Japan's Satsuma region. Although there are different styles, the most common element of Satsuma pottery is a heavy, dark glaze. Moriage is the term for when potters add raised slip decorations to pottery, creating a three-dimensional effect. Some Satsuma pieces show off moriage details, while others do not. Shop a range of Satsuma pottery on 1stDibs.
  • How do I know if my Satsuma is real?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Satsuma porcelain or pottery includes a maker’s mark with the name of the person who made the item. Japanese numbers may also indicate that a Satsuma piece was part of a collection. Genuine Satsuma pieces will not have a “Made in Japan” label and should only include Japanese characters. When in doubt, work with a certified appraiser to determine the authenticity of your Satsuma piece. Find a variety of expertly vetted Satsuma porcelain and pottery collectibles on 1stDibs.
  • Is Satsuma pottery valuable?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    Yes, some Satsuma pottery is valuable. The age, type, style and condition will determine how much a particular piece is worth. In addition, the history of ownership may also make a piece more valuable. For example, if a piece was previously in the collection of a notable person, such as a member of the Japanese Imperial Family, it may be worth more. To get an estimated value for a particular piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer. Find a range of Satsuma pottery on 1stDibs.
  • Is Satsuma pottery worth anything?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Yes, some Satsuma pottery is worth something. Depending on their age, maker, type, style, condition and other factors, pieces may sell for a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Looking at sales and auction histories can give you a rough idea of the value of a piece. For a more definitive valuation, use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Satsuma pottery.
  • How do I know if my Satsuma vase is valuable?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    One way to tell if your Satsuma vase is valuable is to look for markings on it. The oldest and typically most expensive pieces will usually have the Shimazu family crest — a circle with a cross through it — hand-painted on the bottom. If the piece is stamped with the marking or says "Made in Japan" in the Roman alphabet, it is a newer vase. Factors like the style of the vase and its condition will also impact its price. It's a good idea to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer evaluate your vase to determine its value. Find a variety of Satsuma vases on 1stDibs.
  • How do you identify Satsuma pottery marks?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify Satsuma pottery marks, you'll typically need to perform research using trusted online resources. Satsuma is a region in Japan known for its pottery, and many factories and artisans have operated there, including Kinkozan, Taizan, Yasuda, Choshuzan, Fuzan, Gyozan, Koshida and Maruni Kobe. Each maker has its own marks associated with it, and these typically are in Japanese kanji characters. You can compare the characters on your piece to pictures shared online to find a match. Alternatively, a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can help you identify your pottery markings. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Satsuma pottery.
