Vintage Japanese Satsuma Style Vase with Figural Panels

A charming vintage Japanese earthenware vase, decorated in the traditional Satsuma style. This small, shouldered vase features hand-painted panels depicting figures (possibly samurai or immortals) in classic attire, alternating with delicate floral motifs. The decoration is enhanced with gilt detailing and set against a finely crackled cream-beige glaze, characteristic of Satsuma ware.
Origin & Period: Japanese. While unmarked, the style is indicative of wares produced from the late 19th century through the 20th century. This piece likely dates to the mid to late 20th century as a decorative export item.
Condition: Appears to be in good vintage condition. The characteristic glaze crackle is present throughout. There is some age-appropriate rubbing to the gilt details, particularly on the rim and panel borders. No major chips or structural cracks are visible in the images.
Dimensions & Weight: (Weight: 455g). A delightful size for display.
This vase is a lovely example of Japanese decorative pottery and would make a great addition to an Orientalia collection or as an accent piece.
