Antique Japanese Satsuma Vase Hand Painted Cobalt Blue Meiji Period Vase Gilded

This stunning antique Japanese Satsuma vase features exquisite hand-painted figures in traditional kimono, set against a beautifully detailed garden and landscape scene with Mount Fuji in the background. The richly glazed deep cobalt blue ground is adorned with intricate gilded floral and decorative detailing, typical of high-quality Meiji period Kyoto Satsuma work.

The body is a classic crackle-glazed earthenware, with raised enamel highlights and shimmering gold accents throughout. The base bears a gilt circular Japanese mark, likely from the late Meiji to early Taishō period (c.1890–1915).

This is a highly collectible and decorative piece — ideal for lovers of Japanese antiques, export ware, or statement interior design.
