	JAPANESE CERAMICS: Satsuma Meiji Art Nouveau Vase A fine Japanese Satsuma baluster vase, measuring 18 ins. high and 8 ins. in diameter, dating to the Meiji era, ca. 1880. The earthenware body rests on a flared, recessed foot. The body swells gently to the shoulders where it cuts back in to form a cylindrical neck and flared mouth. There are two applied leaf handles. The typical, crackled, off-white Satsuma glaze can be seen on the interior and the base. The outside of the vase is covered in a deep green glaze. The central area has an overall flowers in an orange sky design in multicolor overglaze enamels. The neck is decorated with painted yellow-green leaves. The vase is marked with a size or number mark (No. 13) that was used for European customers to designate a pattern and size. The arfist has signed the vase on the base in gold, but too much of the signature has worn off to read it accurately. This is a fine, large Victorian era piece that would have graced the mantle or table of an upscale home. There are some old, gold fill-ins where some colors have worn around the base and shoulders. Otherwise the vase is in fine and original conditon.    $350.00
