A fine pair of Japanese Satsuma vases, from the early 20th century, each featuring a glazed and gilded design of the “Immortals” – characters who displayed such greatness that they are unable to die - images that convey good luck, fortune, peace and happiness, on a baluster-shaped form.
A fine example of the 'moriage' decorative technique, in which slip or colored clay is applied over a matte glaze to give the vase a three-dimensional appearance. Skillfully hand-painted with embellishments of geometric and floral shapes in colors of orange, green, red, and brown.
Two available - Individually priced - $2895 each vase
