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

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.
