On offer is a magnificent and large antique Japanese Satsuma porcelain vase, exquisitely hand painted with a detailed and vibrant Geisha garden scene, featuring lavish floral motifs and rich gilt embellishments. Dating to the early 20th century, this elegant piece exemplifies the fine craftsmanship of Meiji to Taishō period Satsuma ware, a style prized for its intricate detail, luxurious decoration, and artistic storytelling.

Standing an impressive 14 inches tall, this vase showcases a beautifully composed tableau of three graceful Geisha figures in traditional kimono, set against a lush botanical background under ornate hanging lanterns. The scene is brought to life with a delicate use of polychrome enamels, intricate line work, and shimmering hand-applied gold, typical of Satsuma artistry designed for export to the Western market during Japan’s great decorative arts boom of the late 19th and early 20th century.

Despite minor wear expected with age — two small glaze flakes above the turquoise-robed figure and some gilding loss, particularly on the cobalt base section — the vase remains in very good condition overall, with no cracks or chips. These signs of wear are noted clearly in the images and do not detract from its powerful visual presence.
