Title: antique satsuma bowl, hand painted, gilded and signed.
Post by: awhitetriangle on November 02, 2015, 02:48:24 AM

as per title for your consideration a stunning little hand painted and gilded satsuma bowl. ivory coloured porcelain, crackled glazing. i'd put it 1800-80 just wondering if anyone recognised the signature? if so also whats it worth? purchased from an antique dealer here in england. grey day on the riviera today, typical! colours appear less vibrant in the pics. i'll get some better ones taken. oh yeah it measures about 15 cm across.

Not sure about this but I think your mark may be a variation of the Shimazu family crest !!  There are several of these marks that were used during the 20th century !!  This type Satsuma ware was made for the western market and was not popular in Japan !!  A nice bowl !!
