JAPAN – Pair of small Satsuma vases with polychrome and gilded “thousand-flower” decoration – 20th century Description: A charming pair of small Japanese Satsuma ceramic vases, each with a slightly different shape, featuring a rich polychrome and gilded “thousand-flower” design.

Condition: Appears to be in good overall condition, with slight signs of wear. Dimensions: H. 12.5 × W. 7 cm (dimensions provided).
