You had already response regarding dinnerware with 'moriage' enamel blobs, and vases of similar age all factory mass-made for export after 1870s.

Good luck,
Cal

Sorry Darryl, I can't give another answer as I did on the message board:

"This is Japanese but that you probably all ready knew. It's Satsuma ware with moriage (raised enamels with use of white slip) decoration. With this dragon decoration also called "Dragonware". I can't tell you anything about the value but I don't think you can reach 170 years with them. My guess for the age is about 100 years. (late meiji/Taisho period)."

Best regards,

Arjan

Hello Darryl,

Yes, this pair of vases and covered jar are Japanese Satsuma from the early 20th century, perhaps circa 1910-20.

On the base you show a paper label there is a red rectangle. Originally on the rectangle was the artsit's signature in gold paint which has obviously worn away, all too common with this type of signature.

I recognize these pieces stylistically as being made by the noted Satsuma artist Hododa also spelled Hodota.

Here are pictures of a signed piece from my collection.

If you do an Internet search with the terms Satsuma + Hododa you will find other examples of pieces like these.

Best regards,
Michael

Hello Michael,
Yes you are right about the years of the Satsuma Hododa.
Your vase is beautifull.
If you are interested on buying a Satsuma Tea Set for your own collection I am selling mine. Please contact me [email protected]
