Fine Japanese Satsuma bowl; internally depicts women and children in a domestic setting overlooking a stream; geometric borders and floral diapers; below shows gilded floral works and hanging lappets above the base rim; signed Fuzan on the base; good condition

This is truly a museum worthy piece from the great satsuma artist, Seikozan. It is probably our all time favorite example from this artist. This vase is the mate to another one we sold. Likely months of work went into this vase and it's literally smothered with intricate enamels and gold work. The vase stands 9 1/2 inches tall. This vase appears to be nearly perfect but it has had a rim chip repair.
