Pair Of Polychrome And Gold Enamelled Earthenware Vases - Japan

This pair of vases features a rich and delicately executed decoration, characteristic of the famous Satsuma earthenware, produced in southern Japan. Made of glazed earthenware, the vases are decorated with a vivid polychromy and gold highlights that highlight the figures in relief depicted on their surface. Decoration: Traditional Japanese figures in richly detailed clothing, probably from religious or legendary scenes. The gold halos around the faces emphasize their sacred character. Style: Typical of the productions of the Satsuma Kilns of the Meiji period (late 19th - early 20th century). Shape: Ovoid vases on pedestals with sculpted handles, adding to their elegance. Satsuma vases are highly prized for their meticulous designs, the use of gold highlights, and their decorative value. This pair fits perfectly into a collection of Japanese art or an interior inspired by orientalist styles.
