A large spectacular (48 x 23 cm), earthenware Satsuma floor vase with striking blue, suggesting water and sky, offset vividly by moriage (raised) golden flowers and water plants, with delicate red and green falling autumn leaves. A rippled, flared neck, and four extended looped legs echoing the flora above, complete an outstanding, energetic image, from all sides sure to garner attention wherever placed. Japan. Meiji-Taisho period. Flawless.
