This is a magnificent older Japanese Satsuma vase that stands 18 7/8" tall and the circumference at it widest measures 26 ½" measured just below the handles. The Japanese artist chose fabulous Moriage hand painting to just make this ceramic Satsuma vase alive. It looks to me like t is a bit of a disagreement between these two, possibly a Japanese court noble in the background and a Japanese worrior. Although I have to tell you the Japanese worrior looks very much like a one of the Japanese Gods? The back of this impressive Japanese Satsuma vase has been hand painted in the lovely floral motif that adds a subtle calm to the highly detailed and combative front scene. Off course you have the Japanese patterns of good things to come as they surround the scenes, used as the boarders on the neck and on the base. The handles are made to reflect a Foo animal and then you have the "O" rings and then a fan like shape going down each side of the vase. I think the Japanese artist's use of the Moriage painting is just spectacular in painting this vase and very much in tact, I might add. The base doses have a ¾" and a ¼" rub on the rim. They do not affect the way this older Japanese Satsuma Vase stands. T are also 1/8" or less surface pieces of ceramic that have come off right at the base rim. Please see my pictures.
