Japanese Satsuma Vase by Kinkozan

Jacksons Antique are pleased to offer this superb Meiji period Satsuma vase by Kinkozan.

The vase of ovoid form with a slightly flared neck features a rich cobalt-blue ground, lavishly detailed with gilt scrollwork and stylised floral medallions. Two shaped panels encircle the body, each finely painted with different scenes of natural harmony.

One panel displays a stunning composition of wisteria, chrysanthemums, and bamboo with a small bird perched on a branch, a symbol of peace and seasonal renewal. The second panel shows a detailed arrangement of flowers in bloom beside a bamboo fence, rendered with exceptional balance and delicacy. Between these panels, the vase features a gilt dragon swirling among stylised clouds clutching a flaming pearl, representing strength and prosperity.

The upper neck is detailed with multiple fans and scrolling patterns, while the base bears the gilded Kinkozan seal mark both blind and painted reading 金光山造 Kinkozan Made.

Dating to circa 1890, this vase reflects the height of Kyoto Satsuma production during the Meiji era. The Kinkozan workshop was celebrated for its innovation in colour, form, and technique, becoming one of Japan’s most admired producers of export Satsuma.

A refined example of late-19th-century Japanese porcelain, this vase combines bold design with precise enamel work, perfectly capturing the visual language of Meiji Period Kyoto ceramics.
