Satsuma Scalloped Earthenware Oval Dish, Japan circa 1890

Offered by: Antique and Art Exchange

Description
An elegant Satsuma earthenware oval dish from Japan, featuring the delicate scalloped rim and ivory-toned ground that defined the country's celebrated export ceramics. The surface is adorned with the intricate overglaze enamels and fine gold detailing that made these pieces a sensation at the great world expositions of the 19th century.
Circa 1890, this original period piece was crafted during the height of the Meiji era, a time when Japanese artisans reached new peaks of technical refinement for an admiring global audience.
Cream-colored earthenware with a characteristic finely crackled glaze, finished with hand-painted polychrome enamels and gilt. Rooted in the Kyosatsuma tradition, this dish embodies the sophisticated blend of ancient Japanese craftsmanship and the decorative elegance that captivated the Western world.
