From our Japanese collection, we are delighted to offer this Japanese Meiji period Satsuma Bowl by Kinkozan. The earthenware bowl with pinched rim extensively decorated on both the exterior and interior. The bowl with a cobalt blue base glaze decorated to the borders with gilt shippo-tsunagi (linked-cash) with scattered medallion roundells. Around the exterior two elongated scenes are featured, one with boys playing games in a courtyard with the other featuring seated scholars in full dress both with raised enamel decoration. The interior features a central scene with Samurai warriors in training fully armoured with swords in a courtyard with landscapes scenes to the background. The central scene bordered by further stylised shippo-tsunagi type decoration with a greek key rim border. The bowl signed to the base Kinkozan dating to the Meiji Period (1868-1912) circa 1900. Shippo-Tsunagi (linked-cash) or seven treasures, is a traditional Japanese geometric pattern that combines four ellipses in a circle. These ellipses repeat outward to then create more circles, symbolising eternal peace and happiness. Kinkozan the Kinkozan family have been associated with pottery dating back to 1645.

Pair of Japanese porcelain scroll weights (fuchin), extremely intricately gilded and hand painted on a beautiful square-shaped body in "chibu" technique in dark blue. First developed in the early years of the 19th century, the “chibu” technique tasks the artist with painstakingly creating patterns with minute raised pigmented drops of equal size placed at precise intervals to generate a highly textured and mesmerizing field of raised dots that are most frequently done in a bluish-green hue as in the piece, but also in white and gold. This pair is from the Kutani region of Japan and each piece bears the mark of Kutani on the reverse side. Traditional Japanese rooms are often decorated with scrolls. A “fuchin” or scroll weight is a pair of tasseled weights made of porcelain or stone that is hung on the scroll's bottom end roller to straighten the scroll and steady it in the breeze.
