Subject:Re: Satsuma Vase Signature Help Needed
Posted By: Martin Michels Mon, Jul 04, 2022
On top in the middle is the Shimazu family crest (circle with cross), the logo of the lords of Satsuma.
On the right: Dai 大 Nippon 日本 (= Great Japan), followed by a 2nd Shimazu crest.
The middle column: Satsuma 薩摩 Yaki 焼 (= Satsuma ware).
The left column: xx xx Ga 画 (= Painted by ???).
I could not decipher the 2 Kanji on the left with the name of the decorator, we need a more skilled Japanese language expert like I.Nagy to decipher that name.
Regards,
Martin.
