Historical Note:
The Royal Satsuma line draws from the legacy of Japanese Satsuma ware, first produced in the 17th century and celebrated during the Meiji era for its intricate hand-painted geisha motifs and crackle glaze finishes. While early Satsuma was earthenware, these later porcelain examples were made for export in the mid-to-late 20th century, showcasing skilled Japanese craftsmanship. Today, vintage Royal Satsuma porcelain wall hangings are highly sought after for their artistry, elegance, and cultural richness.

Whether displayed in a hallway, living room, or as part of a Japanese art pottery collection, this pair of vintage Japanese Royal Satsuma 13-inch fan-shaped wall pocket vases offers both historical charm and decorative impact. See less
