AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Small round box or porcelain bonbonnière from Satsuma with rich decoration of numerous characters (sages, women, warriors...) in landscapes, as well as stylized motifs inside and outside, decorated with gold and gilded accents, signature on the bottom. It is refined in its decoration, quality, and precision, from the late 19th-century Meiji period.
The lid has undergone restoration, which is less visible from the outside than from the inside (carefully look at the photos).
