Japanese Minature Satsuma-Style Vases

A pair of minature Japanese Satsuma ware vases, likely an export piece from the late 19th or early 20th century. 

 

It is a type of earthenware pottery known for its ivory-to-beige background and crackled glaze. 

The decoration uses the moriage technique, which involves applying raised colored slip (clay) to create intricate, tactile patterns. 

Satsuma ware often features rich, hand-painted details in polychromatic enamel and liberal use of gold, with designs that appealed to Western consumers
