The intentional crazing across the surface is a hallmark of Satsuma style, and this piece wears it beautifully. A note on Satsuma: original Satsuma pottery dates to the 16th century and is among the most prized in Japanese ceramics history. This is a 20th-century export piece in the Satsuma tradition — not antique Satsuma, but genuinely beautiful and highly collectible in its own right. Otagiri Mercantile Company (OMC) was a San Francisco-based importer and distributor of Japanese ceramics and giftware from 1954 to 1994, supplying high-end department stores and gift shops across the US.
