About the Item
Rare Meiji Period Japanese satsuma vase with superbly painted scenes of a sage and his young companion observing three golden turtles swimming in a large basin on one side, with a reclining sage reading a book next to a young boy reading on the other side. The turtle is a well known symbol of wisdom, longevity and good luck in Japanese culture. Reading and education are highly revered for the transformative expansion they offer the individual and society.
This beautiful vase incorporates several techniques of painting: the wide gold border at the top of the foot showcases the fine gold on gold decoration, the main body of the vase is in the traditional polychrome style highlighted with raised gold accents and the top of the vase is profusely decorated with classical Japanese patterns with raised polychrome highlights.
Exceptionally fine detail and condition.
