20 EURO

Condition: very good, no flaws. Gold painted decor is slightly affected by the patina of years.
Dimensions: 6.8 cm height, 4.2 cm diagonal hexagon.

A most unusual vase, both in size - is a miniature vase and the old - belongs to the late Meiji period, ie around 1900.
 Is Satsuma vase is hand painted in enamel (under glaze) and has a hexagonal shape. It is divided into two panels, separated by gilded frames, panels that have cracked porcelain (porcelain crakle) so typical of Japanese Satsuma vases only. In the main panel are painted two stylized geisha (courtesan) miniature, the secondary field with flowers. The remaining imperial vase is painted cobalt and gold painted decoration, specifically flowers. The piece is a genuine canons respecting Satsuma vases - can be seen from the description and photos and that surface "cracks", feature clearly distinguishes the imitations and forgeries.
