Item Description
Stunning Pair of Vintage Mid-Century Royal Satsuma Style Lidded Ginger Jars / Urns
Up for sale is a beautiful, matching pair of vintage porcelain ginger jars decorated in a highly ornate Japanese Royal Satsuma style. Each jar comes complete with its original matching lid featuring a brilliant, solid metallic-gold painted finial knob.
Year Made / Historical Context:
These export wares feature the distinct oval \"Made in China\" labels on their unglazed bases, placing their production period in the mid-to-late 20th century, specifically circa 1960s to 1970s. During this era, Chinese workshops heavily utilized traditional Satsuma, Moriage, and Kutani aesthetics to create high-quality porcelain art for western home decor.
Design Details:
These colorful jars display vibrant, multi-paneled artwork showcasing a classic scene of elegant Geishas and a magnificent peacock with its feathers fully fanned out in an outdoor courtyard garden landscape. The central panels are framed by eye-catching, bright green geometric bands decorated with bold red, orange, and blue floral motifs. The artwork features highly tactile raised enamel details (moriage) and heavy bright-gold highlighting throughout.
Condition:
Both pieces are in very good vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or structural damage. They show a clean, light fine-line crackle/crazing glaze effect which is characteristic of this style of vintage ceramic ware. There is only minor, light cosmetic wear to the gold finish and base rims from display over the years.
Perfect accent pieces for Chinoiserie styling, Grandmillennial home decor, or an Asian-inspired decorative pottery collection.
