About the Item

This impressive Japanese Satsuma lidded vase is a fine example of the richly decorated earthenware admired during the late Meiji to Taishō period, celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship and refined artistry. Standing with presence and authority, the vase features a domed lid topped with a sculpted finial, completing its elegant silhouette. The surface is densely decorated with hand-painted panels, each meticulously rendered in vibrant enamels and highlighted with lavish gilt detailing. Traditional scenes unfold across the body, depicting elaborately robed figures engaged in courtly activities, framed by scrolling florals, geometric borders, and symbolic motifs associated with prosperity and longevity. The characteristic warm cream ground provides a beautiful backdrop for the painter’s work, while the restrained crackle glaze adds depth and authenticity. Every brushstroke is executed with clarity and precision, showcasing the exceptional skill of Satsuma artisans, who produced wares intended for export as well as for domestic appreciation among the nobility and rising merchant class. Whether displayed as a standalone centrepiece or placed within a curated collection of Japanese ceramics, this lidded vase offers both visual grandeur and cultural richness. A distinguished and highly decorative object, it embodies the elegance, narrative detail, and artistic finesse that define the best Satsuma ware.
