Satsuma Vases
This pair of antique Japanese Satsuma vases showcases intricate detailing and vibrant colours characteristic of the style. The vases are decorated with scenes depicting figures, likely warriors, amidst floral and geometric patterns, all rendered in a rich palette of reds, golds, and greens. The technique involves layering multiple glazes and enamels, creating a textured and lustrous surface. These vases exemplify the artistry and craftsmanship of the Satsuma ware tradition, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Condition
These vases exhibit signs of age and wear consistent with their antique status. There may be minor imperfections in the glaze, such as crazing or small chips, which add to their character and authenticity. Despite these minor flaws, the vases remain visually striking and represent a valuable addition to any collection of Japanese ceramics. Collectors will appreciate the intricate artistry and historical significance of these beautifully decorated Satsuma vases.
