Antique Japanese Satsuma Rectangular Vase Accented In Gold, 19th Century ~


Satsuma style of Japanese pottery originated in the Satsuma Province (modern-day Kagoshima Prefecture) in southern Japan during the late 16th century, and became globally recognized for its elaborately decorated export ware made during the Meiji era (1868–1912).

Dimensions
Height: 7.10 "｜18.03 cm
Width: 2.70 "｜6.86 cm

This Japanese Satsuma vase is a decorative ceramic piece characterized by:

Fine Earthenware Body: Made from a light, porous clay (not porcelain, despite common mislabeling), giving the piece a relatively soft structure compared to true porcelain.

Cream-Colored Glaze: The surface is covered in a warm ivory glaze with a network of fine cracks (called crazing), which is a hallmark of authentic Satsuma ware.

Hand-Painted Decoration: Meticulously adorned with miniature painted scenes.

Extensive Gilding: The artwork is accented in gold, especially around borders and details, creating a strikingly opulent appearance.

Materials used:

Clay Body: Fine earthenware, kiln-fired at relatively low temperatures.

Glaze: A lead-based cream glaze with intentional crazing, used both for aesthetic and functional purposes.

Paint: Mineral-based pigments, traditionally applied by hand.

Gilding: Genuine gold leaf or gold-based paint applied for accents and patterning.
