The hexagonal baluster vase finely decorated with alternate panels depicting a landscape, a Bijin and a Samurai or Warrior. Separating them are sides decorated with rich gilding on a cobalt blue ground. The base has an extensive mark that I have partially translated as Great Japan Satsuma Kinkaizan. I find this style of Satsuma very difficult to photograph, please forgive the poor pictures. A couple of picture have been taken in a raking light to show the thick gilding.

8.1/4 inches (21 cm) high. No chips, cracks or restoration. The gilding is very strong overall but has worn slightly on the shoulder and more so on the neck where obviously the neck has been used to lift the vase.
