This Japanese Satsuma incense burner is a decorative work of art from the Meiji period, distinguished by its exquisite craftsmanship and intricate detailing. Made from fine earthenware, this burner features a creamy, off-white glaze adorned with vibrant overglaze enamels and gold detailing. Lively scenes are on full display on each side, featuring tea ceremonies, the playing of instruments and children playing. Used for burning incense during ceremonies, Satsuma incense burners exemplify the blend of form, function and artistic beauty characteristic of Meiji-era Satsuma ware.
This burner has a round shape with a perforated, dome-shaped lid and is supported by intricately decorated feet. A stunning and utilitarian object such as this would have been highly prized both domestically and internationally. It is marked with the Shimazu family crest, or mon, and the artist's signature, indicating their origin from the Satsuma region.
The signature contains the characters of the signature for Hozan for the artist Matsumoto Hozan at the Kyoto-based workshop in the Meiji period. Hozan also worked for Yasuda and produced some of the highest quality satsuma ware on the market.
For nearly 150 years, Satsuma earthenware has captivated collectors and is regarded as a quintessential art form of the Meiji period. Initially crafted in the 17th century, this luminous style reached its height around 1790. Originating near Kagoshima Prefecture on Kyushu Island, Satsuma ware was initially produced by Korean potters for the Shimazu family and the local populace. Its international acclaim soared after its exhibition at the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Subsequently, Satsuma ware was widely commissioned for export to the West, with production expanding to major Japanese cities such as Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo and Yokohama.
