Satsuma Ashtray - 1979

These particular pieces, likely intended as ashtrays or small decorative plates, showcase the classic Satsuma aesthetic with detailed depictions of peacocks and chrysanthemums. The use of vibrant colors, gold accents, and fine brushwork is typical of the period when such items were highly sought after by collectors. The presence of a red and gold patterned border further enhances their decorative quality, making them representative examples of Japanese export ceramics from the Late 19th to early 20th century.
