Kyoto Satsuma Ware Kusube Gold Brocade Figure Vase Meiji Period
This small vase, 4.88 inches high, is Satsuma ware, likely made in Kyoto during the Meiji period. It features splendid gold ornamentation and intricate painting. There is a Shimazu cross and a mark by Kusube. This is a rare item. It was part of my deceased father's collection and has been stored at home for a long time. There is no box. There is a large repair mark on the rim (photos 3, 5). As an antique item, it has scratches, dirt, and peeling gold.
