Interesting Fun Facts: - This type of decorative porcelain is often associated with the Satsuma ware style, even if it's not strictly Satsuma. - Japanese porcelain production has a long history, influenced by Korean and Chinese techniques. While early porcelain was often white or blue and white, later periods saw the development of overglaze enamels and gilding, as seen on this vase. The black ground would be applied, then the designs would be painted with enamel colors and gold, and the piece would be fired again. - Peacock Symbolism: In Japanese culture, the peacock is a symbol of beauty, good fortune, integrity, and dignity. It's also associated with compassion and wisdom. - Satsuma Influence: While true Satsuma ware is typically a type of earthenware with a crackled glaze, the term "Satsuma style" or "Satsuma ware" is often broadly applied to Japanese export ceramics with richly enameled and gilded decoration, regardless of the precise clay body or glaze.
