This is another estate find that is a beautiful example of Satsuma pottery. This piece of Antique Satsuma depicts a mixture of motifs, including warriors, imperial life, and nature. The raised gold indicates an earlier production date in the Meiji period. This is also confirmed by the finely crackled glaze that is consistent with older rather than modern Satsuma ware. The verso is unadorned and the charger is unmarked.
The charger is in excellent condition. There is no damage. There are some losses to the gold and to a lesser extent slight enamel loss, which are both consistent with age and use.
