Japanese Satsuma style Censer, 1930s
A Japanese ceramic censer or incense burner of rounded octagonal form, the squat baluster body with an open top cover, decorated with alternating panels of figures and trees, a band of geometric panels and beadwork. The colourings used and the heavy style of the enamel work is typical of early twentieth century productions recalling the satsuma pieces made for export in Japan in the nineteenth century. No detail of craftsmanship here, but a naif charm nevertheless. The mark ‘FOREIGN’ stamped on the base was applied to pieces exported to Great Britain in the early C20th, not necessarily just from Japan, but the style here betrays the country of manufacture.PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS FREE UK SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM.
