Pair of Satsuma Sake Cups
These sake cups are exceptionally detailed, particularly given their small size. They are signed âHododaâ on the undersides, the hallmark of the prominent maker of the rare Japanese pottery called Satsuma ware. These matching sake cups are exceptionally gilded with intricate designs and scenes of colorfully dressed figures in serene nature. These scenes are beautifully captured despite the sake cupsâ small surface, making the intricate scenes even more impressive. Legends say the finest Satsuma artists were driven to blindness by the high level of detail required in their work, evidenced by this remarkable pair.
Satsuma ware exemplifies the high quality and artistic beauty of Japanese pottery that has captivated collectors across the globe for over 150 years. This Meiji period art form features intricate overglaze enamel and delicate gilding, often utilizing floral designs with animals and figures. Originating near Kagoshima Prefecture on Kyushu Island, this esteemed ceramic tradition was introduced by skilled Korean potters who designed for Japanese elites. Its international fame soared after the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Today, Satsuma ware is highly coveted.
