AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Specular pair of large ceramic/terracotta vases with crackled glaze (crackle glaze or craquelé), typical of the Japanese-manufactured Satsuma/ Kutani style.
The two vases feature a trumpet-shaped form at the upper neck with a wide outward flare, finely decorated on the inside with medallion floral reserves. The central bodies host two main reserves framed by sage/ornamental enamel and gold motifs:
From one side is depicted a sage/dignitary (Scholar) seated near the coast with a coastal and mountainous landscape in the background.
From the other side is represented a female figure (Geisha / Court Lady) in traditional dress with a fan in a formal setting.
Origin: Japan
Period: Taisho / early Showa (c. 1920–1940 approx)
Material: Fine white-bodied ceramic with crackling glaze, polychrome enamel decoration and gold details
Style/School: Satsuma / Kutani style (Satsuma-style / Kutani export ware)
Dimensions: Height 33.7 cm – Maximum diameter/flare 15 cm (each)
Conditions: Generally good condition proportionate to age. Slight surface wear of gilding/enamel on the rims and natural firing imperfections typical of ceramic manufacture of the period. No chipping or structural cracks.
