(pair) Japanese Satsuma pottery vases, having hand-painted raised enamel, foliate decoration and moriage accents, depicting court scholars and samurai, rising on wood stand, each vase: approx 13 7/8"h, 7 7/8"diam, overall on stand: approx 15 1/8"h, 12lbs total

10.30.25 - In my opinion regarding LOT 1144: Upon close visual examination, the vases are free from observed hairlines/ fractures or chipping, UV light examination is unremarkable and does not reveal evidence of restoration, the enameled elements are overall well-preserved, and there is crazing throughout the figural scenes, as well as typical light rubs to the gilded elements, and some scattered minor firing flaws, which are common and original to the kiln firing process
