Re: satsuma vase
This vase is a late 20th Century item, even so you did well to get it for $15.00. A lot of the vases like this one were sold ( and still are) in Garden supply/Decorator outlets. Satsuma is actually a province in Japan where similar pieces are made, pieces not made in Japan would be referred to as " Satsuma Style.
