    Kutani - satsuma

    Satsuma ware sometimes referred to as "Satsuma porcelain," it is a type of Japanese earthenware pottery. It originated in the late 16th century, during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and is still produced today.
    The term can be used to describe a variety of types of pottery, the best known type of Satsuma ware has a soft, ivory-colored, crackled glaze with elaborate polychrome and gold decorations.
    What we see in England is mostly tourist type items from C1910-1930s

    Satsuma ware originated when the Shimazu of the Satsuma domain in southern Kyūshū relocated skilled Korean potters after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Japanese Invasions of Korea to establish a local pottery industry. Later, after display at an international exhibition in Paris in 1867, it proved popular as an export to Europe.
    The item you show in the photograph is a much better made and better decorated piece and is from the turn of the 19th to 20th century. The quality of the painting is much better than usual;

    I have owned a vase just like this but the decoration was " a thousand faces"

    The name Satsuma comes from the Satsuma Province.

    Your item is what collectors get excited about.

    In an antique Harrogate type antique fair I would expect an item like this to bring £400 - £500

    But..... your item has sticky labels on the base that makes it look like it is from a collection or even a museum

    this is where opinions come in and not what the item is WORTH.

    I am sure we can find some one whose opinion puts the vase at £1500

    but in my world In auction £100-£200

    It will be interesting what other posters think and what you paid for the item in the local charity shop.

    all the best

    those photo's clearly come from either a museum or high end auction website.

    do you own this vase or one like it?

    briana .............. of cause they don't own it............ i get tons of emails from people who use photographs from where ever.

    I just give my honest opinion.......

    no one ever knows what something is worth.

    In one auction could bring £50 in another £500

    that is the fun of our trade.

    the chinese vase that brought 50 million estimate in the auction£1500

    what is your value of the item Mr Briana

    I thought I recognized the stickers on the bottom of the vase.... I knew I had seen them somewhere. So it was Millers guide. I do not think so. Millers only show one picture. This picture is from an auction catalog , don't you agree..

    sarah3645 or any one show light on what other people thought the price was.
