This is an incredibly well hand painted and uniquely shaped Japanese Satsuma vase dating to the mid 19th century.
It's hexagonally faceted and shows a mat red background with incredibly fine gold hand painting showing a woodland scene with birds and butterflies.
Everything about this vase shows incredible rarity and quality of the very highest standard.
It's around 15cm tall x 7cm wide.
Good age related condition - I think it's once been in 2 pieces & put straight back together showing a very fine vertical join. The upper neck has been repainted along part of one edge and the upper opening has very tiny gold flea bites missing, as shown.
Please examine the pictures on all my listings as they form part of the description.
