Japanese Satsuma-Style Peacock Floor Vase

Story

Japanese artisans first captivated the Western world at the 1867 Paris World's Fair with 'Satsuma' ware, sparking a global obsession known as Japonisme.

Maker / Origin

While this piece likely comes from a larger export workshop rather than a single named artist, it follows the centuries-old tradition of the Satsuma kilns of Kyushu.

Condition & Value

There appears to be a visible vertical hairline crack or prominent manufacturing seam running down the neck area. Some light rubbing to the gilding is visible, which is typical for its age; the structural crack significantly limits the value compared to a pristine example.
