Satsuma ware originated in the Satsuma province of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). It is known for its finely crackled, creamy glaze and intricate overglaze enamel decoration. The term 'Satsuma' can refer to various styles, from the early Ko-Satsuma to the more ornate Kinran-Satsuma.
This type of pottery became popular in the West during the late 19th century, particularly during the Meiji era (1868-1912), when Japan opened its doors to international trade. Satsuma ware was highly sought after by collectors for its exotic designs and meticulous craftsmanship. These pieces often feature traditional Japanese motifs such as dragons, floral patterns, and scenes from daily life, making them a prized possession for collectors worldwide.
