Antique Satsuma vase signed Dozan (Mount Fuji)...

Authentic antique Satsuma vase (48 cm tall) signed by the master potter/decorator Dozan, active around 1900 and whose workshop was located near Kyoto, then the epicenter for the refined 'Kyoto Satsuma' export ceramics. Dozan's work is known for the use of vibrant enamel colors and extremely detailed gilded decorations. He often painted very finely executed scenes of landscapes, festivals, samurai processions, or mythological figures. The vase is signed on the underside with the characters Dozan, written in gold within a rectangular cartouche. Symbolism: the iconic snow-covered Mount Fuji is one of the most beloved motifs on Satsuma vases. It symbolizes immortality, national pride, and spiritual purity. Composition: on Dozan-style vases, Mount Fuji is usually placed in the background, rising above a layered landscape with lakes, cherry blossoms, pagodas, and walking figures in traditional kimonos (usually geishas). Real Satsuma is not porcelain, but cream/ivory-colored earthenware with a very fine crackle. The moriage technique is clearly visible here as well. The gilding is also in perfect condition and not worn off. Perfect condition, no damage.
