This is a hand-painted flower vase made of Satsuma ware. It depicts a family of birds. This vase is approximately 50-100 years old but in good condition. Although the design is modest among Satsuma vases, the large birds make an impact. It creates a very nice atmosphere of old Satsuma. The artist is Eisen from the Nagata Kiln.
