Satsuma ware, popular in Japan’s Meiji era,. . .
Satsuma ware, popular in Japan’s Meiji era, has captivated collectors for over a century with its ornate overglaze enameling and subtle gilding. Originating from the vicinity of Kagoshima Prefecture, this fine pottery serves as a vibrant canvas, bringing nature to life through detailed depictions of flora and fauna. Introduced by Korean artisans, it initially adorned the homes of Japan’s elite. Its acclaim burgeoned at the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris, elevating Satsuma ware to a status of international desire. Today, it remains a celebrated and sought-after part of cultural heritage, continuing its legacy of beauty and craftsmanship.
