True, would that make it a repo then?
No, satsuma is a region where the pottery is made !! They have been making pottery for many years !! Much of it is sold to other companies who do the decoration/painting !! I think its still being imported !! If I remember correctly its a tin glazed pottery much like majolica !! This looks like maybe 1960 or after !! If I had to put a value on this one,,around $20. !! Prices are not too good for oriental style right now,, except for the very old ones and even they are down a bit !!
Yep !!
Satsuma looks nothing like Majolica, other than some of the more modern items that have ' moriage ' decoration and aren't really Satsuma at all.
I have a smaller vase similar to the one on the right.
Record prices for Oriental items in the last couple of years.
