Satsuma Bowl
Description
Mark: Yabu Meizan in raised gold enamel in a dark red glazed cartouche on the inner foot-ring
Satsuma ware originated in south-western Japan but its manufacture spread to eastwards by the early Meiji period due to its immense popularity amongst Western collectors. These are characterised by elaborate use of enamelling and gilding of intricate and highly detailed scenes of Japanese landscape and life at court and in the countryside. The quality of Sir Ratan Tata’s Satsuma ceramics collection is of the highest standard as exemplified in the pieces shown here by celebrated artists Yabu Meizan and Kinkozan
