Charming vintage cobalt blue Satsuma vase made in Japan.

The vase is 19 cm High, 11 cm Wide and 10 cm Deep.

Satsuma earthenware pottery is identifiable by its meticulously detailed enamel and gilt surfaces. Satsuma wares are often yellowish in hue, and focus on figurative designs with expressive faces, landscapes, or genre scenes. Satsuma pottery was designed almost exclusively for export, and despite its beauty, it held little appeal for local Japanese audiences.
