This is a beautiful early Japanese satsuma vase. It is made in the style and quality of mercury/gold fired Meizan pieces, except it stands 18 inches tall. It also features a basket weave design and extensive enamel work. It's unsigned and a very heavy piece. The bottom edge is rough so a stand or protection will be needed to keep it from scratching surfaces. This rare piece belongs in a museum.

The enamels and gilding are of high quality as can be seen on the best satsuma creations. The decoration is also atypical with a beautiful decorative effect and a surprising aesthetic...
