Description
Large vase with what I think are Samurai warriors on holding fans. As far as I can tell it is hand painted because you can feel the texture of the paint. There is a signature at the bottom in Japanese writing. I have no idea how old it is. We found it when we were clearing out one of our friends shed.

Re: Japanese Satsuma Vase
It would be great to get some feedback on this.
Re: Japanese Satsuma Vase
the mark and design appears to be Kyoto Satsuma and dates to around 1920. If it 2 feet tall, that is a very large size for this age vase...If it were in my shop, I would price it around $200-300, but I am concerned about the cracks on the base.
Re: Japanese Satsuma Vase
Thank you very much for the feedback. I think I may end up keeping it as I have found no one that would like to buy it from me.
