Satsuma ceramic with gilding. Japan, Meiji-period (1868 – 1912)
A small Satsuma vase, elaborately decorated in the ?brocade-style“, with plenty of gold. In the two large pictorial reserves are large figural scenes in front of houses with a view of the landscape. On one side, two dames with an album in their hands. On the other, a samurai with Daisho, as well as a dame and boy. All the garments are rich in details. In the small cartouches, white Chrysanthemums. Very well preserved.
