What it lacks in pedigree, it makes up for in detail: raised moriage work, heavy gilding, and a matching design front and back.
That symbolism makes this a meaningful gift for a wedding or retirement, and a lovely accent for a bookshelf or desk for anyone drawn to Asian decor.
Worth a quick note of honesty: true Satsuma pottery traces back centuries to Japan, and this is a later export piece made for a wider audience, not an antique original. Red-crowned cranes, the birds on the sides, are a traditional symbol of longevity and good fortune.
