AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A particularly beautiful set of Satsuma vases with a beloved height of 25 cm.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself in old Japan, where the majestic, snow-covered peak of Mount Fuji proudly rises above the landscape. The aficionado of Asian art recognizes this feeling immediately: the stillness of an ancient tradition captured in refined ceramics.
This exceptional and substantial 'mirror pair' standing no less than 25 cm high are two vases that form each other’s mirror image to bring perfect symmetry and harmony into your interior, warming the heart of any collector at once. The vivid scene depicts a richly detailed procession of figures and nobles along the waterfront, masterfully hand-painted.
As soon as the mood lighting falls on the vases, the abundant gold accents and the geometric ornaments around the neck illuminate beautifully. This pair brings the mystique of the Far East directly into your living room; a valuable possession that continues to fascinate and enriches your interior with a touch of timeless Japanese elegance.
Satsuma ware is renowned worldwide for its characteristic ivory-colored, finely crackled glaze and abundant polychrome paintings with gold. This pair dates from the early 20th century (Taishō or early Shōwa period). The authenticity of this lot is confirmed on the underside. Within a gold-colored rectangular cartouche sits the hand-painted family crest of the Shimazu clan, the historical rulers of the Satsuma province, accompanied by the two-character signature (including the character 'Satsu' 薩) of the decorating studio.
Mount Fuji in the background stands in Japanese culture as a symbol of immortality and spiritual purity.
This substantial mirror pair is rightly a jewel for the eye. The combination of the iconic Mount Fuji and the authentic Shimazu mark makes this a highly valuable addition for the collector and enthusiast. A special opportunity to enrich your collection with a piece of pure Japanese history. Best of luck with the auction!
