SSet is beautifully moriage hand painted with intricately detailed raised slip bead and trail features with enamel beading and heavy gold overlay. Each container has a beautiful bulging dragon body wrapper around the top and sides leading to the dragon head on the lid. Every piece is marked or signed on the bottom with Satsuma Kinkozan Tsukuru family crest.
The Kinkozan family have been associated with pottery since 1645. They went on to become the largest producer of Satsuma ware, from the end of the 19th century until 1927 after which the factory closed. By the 1850s Kobayashi Sobei (1824-84), Kinkozan Sobei (artist name Kinkozan IV), started to export his products together with the Kyoto manufacturer Taizan VIII. The market was in particular America. Their main production period was approximately between 1875-1927 under the leadership of Kinkozan V (1868-1927). Regarding styles, in her book Treasury of Satsuma, Sandra Andacht quotes a 19th century visitor to the Kinkozan factory, saying that the same glazed pots were decorated in two styles, the one being called Kyoto or Awata ware, and the other Satsuma.
Some crazing to the glaze surface which is consistent with age and happens to all pieces from this time period. Pictures are considered part of description so please zoom in and look close to see the best details of its condition.
