Pair of antique Japanese Satsuma pottery pieces showcasing the intricate artistry associated with Meiji period ceramics. The larger piece is a tripod censer or koro featuring gilded foo dog karashishi form handles and finely painted scenes of warriors accented with rich gold detailing. The cream toned body displays the characteristic finely crackled glaze associated with Satsuma ware. The smaller piece is a teapot or jar decorated with delicate hand painted floral motifs and raised enamel embellishments. Both examples reflect the highly decorative nature of Satsuma ceramics, which were often created for display and export rather than everyday practical use.
