Dilmensions about 100x15 mm

This is an old and well done Japanese Satsuma box. The design has a wonderful contrast between the simplistic over glazed enamel water elements and the refined, highly detailed gold wheels.

Makuzu Kozan did some work in earthenware and came up with many wonderful designs. We also know that they were not all signed...
