Antique Japanese Satsuma Bowl Cobalt Gold Moriage Floral 4.75”

Beautiful antique Japanese Satsuma-style bowl featuring an intricately detailed hand-decorated scene of birds among blooming florals, enhanced with extensive gold gilt work and fine moriage accents. The interior showcases a richly layered design with delicate blossoms and detailed birds, while the exterior features a deep cobalt blue glaze accented with gold floral decoration and a gracefully scalloped rim. Pieces like this are appreciated for their craftsmanship and decorative presence, making it a striking addition to any collection or display.

The base is signed with a two-character Japanese mark (越田), commonly read as “Koshida,” indicating a traditional workshop or decorator mark rather than a specific documented studio. This type of marking is often found on export Satsuma wares from the late 19th to early 20th century.

Measures approximately 4.75 inches in diameter and about 2 inches tall.

Condition is preowned antique. No chips or cracks observed. There is some visible wear and loss to portions of the gold gilt, particularly on the central bird motif, along with fine crazing throughout consistent with age. Displays beautifully overall and retains strong visual appeal.
