Historically associated with the Satsuma domain, White Satsuma was highly prized for its elegance and craftsmanship, standing apart from ceramics made primarily for everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece requires a remarkable level of skill and patience. Floral motifs, birds and traditional Japanese designs are carefully painted by hand, often complemented by subtle enamel colours and delicate gold accents. The result is a highly decorative ceramic art form in which even the smallest details reward close appreciation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChinjukan Kiln gained international recognition in the 19th century, when Satsuma ware was introduced to audiences overseas and became celebrated for its elaborate craftsmanship and distinctive beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the kiln is led by the 15th-generation Chinjukan (十五代 沈壽官), continuing centuries of inherited technique while also introducing a contemporary sensibility to the tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout This Piece – White Satsuma Ware Round Vase 21 cm - Plum and Peony\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of plum and peony is one of the most elegant motifs found in Satsuma ware. Plum blossoms symbolise resilience and renewal, while the peony represents prosperity and refinement. Here, the flowers are painted generously around the broad rounded body, with the dark plum branches creating a striking contrast against the warm ivory glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach vase is individually hand-painted by Chinjukan Kiln’s artisans, who adjust the arrangement of the flowers to suit the particular shape of each piece rather than reproducing an identical pattern. This makes every vase subtly unique and gives it the character of an individually finished work rather than a mass-produced decorative object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: Each vase is individually hand-painted, so the placement, colour and details of the decoration will vary slightly from piece to piece. This vase is intended primarily for decorative display. The artisan advises that water may seep through the base and may also cause staining, so we don't recommend using it with fresh flowers or filling it directly with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs each piece is handmade, slight variations in size, glaze, colour and texture may occur, reflecting the unique character of artisan-made ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◾ Handmade in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◾ What's included? - One (1) Vase in a Box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◾ Material: Ceramic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◾ Size: Diameter 23 cm x Height 21.3 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◾ Comes with a box.
