This magnificent vase is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and elegant gold gilding, featuring two captivating scenes. One side depicts figures in vividly colorful attire admiring a floral arrangement, highlighting the Japanese art form that embodies feng shui and meditation. The other side shows children marveling at majestic cranes, symbols of good fortune and national treasures in Japanese culture. The small size of this vase makes the designs all the more impressive as the artist was able to capture exceptional detail on such a tiny surface. It is said the greatest Satsuma artists go blind from their highly detailed work.

For over 150 years, Satsuma ware has stood as a testament to the artistic brilliance of Japan's Meiji period, captivating collectors around the globe. Celebrated for its unique style characterized by intricate overglaze enamel and delicate gilding, Satsuma ware beautifully portrays nature with detailed depictions of flowers and animals. This esteemed ceramic tradition originated near Kagoshima Prefecture on Kyushu Island, initially crafted by skilled Korean artisans for the local elite. Its international acclaim skyrocketed following the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Today, Satsuma ware continues to be a revered art form, cherished in major Japanese cities and highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
