MEIJI PERIOD (1868-1912)
From our Japanese Satsuma collection, we’re pleased to offer this Meiji period bottle-form Satsuma vase by Kinkozan.
The vase is of traditional bottle shape potted from earthenware, with a flared top rim and broad bulbous body, finished in a rich cobalt blue ground glaze. A wide band of finely gilt foliage extends across the surface, interspersed with detailed Greek key ornamentation around the rim and high relief-moulded leaf forms falling from the neck. The gilt work is applied with precision and carries strong visual contrast against the deep blue enamel. Three oval cartouches are set around the body, each individually painted with figural scenes. The compositions depict groups of seated and standing figures in traditional dress, each panel worked in fine brush detail with areas of raised enamel highlighting the folds and textures of the garments. The painting demonstrates the narrative style associated with the Kinkozan studio during the late Meiji period, where storytelling and surface decoration were brought together in balance.
The base of the satsuma vase carries both the gilt-painted Kinkozan mark and a blind embossed Kinkozan seal, indicating that the piece was both potted and painted within the studio. A third collector’s label is also present beside the signature indicating the vase came from a larger collection. This vase dates to the Meiji period (1868–1912), a time when the Kinkozan workshop in Kyoto produced some of the most sought-after examples of export Satsuma ware. The combination of cobalt blue, detailed figural scenes, and intricate gilt work reflects the workshop’s attention to surface decoration and their position in the Japanese ceramic export market of the late 19th century. A finely painted and richly decorated example of signed Meiji period Kinkozan Satsuma ware.

Located in Tel Aviv - Jaffa, IL
the body of this small marvelous vase is painted with a scene of a puppet show vendor with his wood backpack, on top of the backpack there are toys and dolls, he is surrounded with a group of 6 children, and on the background you can see a village.
on the other side of the vase there is an amazing painting of flowers and on the sides there are two amazing strong pine trees, the amorphous background is decorated in a "Tortoiseshell" color and design that gives it a real character and which is quite rare to see on satsuma pottery.
all the vase is over richly overpainted over the glaze with gold, which gives it its depth and realism.
signed Kyoto Kinkozan zo, and sealed Kinkozan zo
Kyoto’s Satsuma:
The painting technique used in Kyoto’s Satsuma-style ware is said to be the invention of the sixth generation Kinkōzan Sōbei (1824–1884). The Kinkōzan were a famous family of Kyoto Awataguchi potters who made ceramics that were used at Shōren'in, a temple closely tied to the imperial family, and by the shoguns of the Edo government. In fact the shogun is said to have granted them the name Kinkōzan. With the upheavals at the end of the Edo period, however, and the reforms of the subsequent Meiji government, the potters lost their traditional patrons and had to develop new markets.
Just at that time, the visit of a certain Westerner is said to have decided them to embark on overseas trade. By 1870, they had perfected Kyō Satsuma...
