Product description
This set of two Satsuma-style vases is crafted from fine ceramic and richly hand-painted with traditional Japanese depictions. The decorations feature figures in ceremonial attire, combined with floral motifs, gold accents, and raised relief details in the moriage technique, characteristic of Satsuma work from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The vases are symmetrically designed as a set and display continuous scenes around their circumference, meticulously crafted with enameled colors, gold paint, and raised details. The handles are sculpturally formed and integrated into the design, contributing to the objects' sculptural character. The underside bears a Japanese signature, consistent with export and studio work from this period. Satsuma-style vases were originally crafted for both the Japanese elite and the international market, known for their refined finish and narrative decorations. This set is highly decorative, yet clearly retains its artisanal and historical character. A distinctive set for lovers of Japanese ceramics, Asian art, and meticulously executed craftsmanship. Dimensions per vase: 24.1 cm high × 16 cm wide – total weight of both vases: approximately 1.8 kg.
