Subject:Satsuma vase
Posted By: Jen Mon, Aug 18, 2014 IP: 67.188.243.170
Hi there,
recently purchased this Satsuma vase. Need help identifying it. It looks like Kinkozan to me..please help.

The characters on the base, shown upside down, are 庄山, which may be transcribed as Shouyama or Shousan, both being surnames and the former also being a place name. I had no luck trying to find out more via Google, including with variants, dropping the "u" from Shou. In any event, probably not Satsuma without the circled cross from the crest.

Good luck,

Bill H

I believe the name is Shozan, and yes it is Satsuma ware, late 19th to early 20th century.
