An antique Japanese Satsuma Jar that measures about 18" tall x 13" in diameter. The jar has the "thousand faces" design, skillfully executed in gold and raised moriage enamels. On one side is Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess, and on the other I believe it is the Immortal, Lu Tung-pin, who has the power to slay dragons and evil. Additionally there are eighteen Rakan, all of which have the same face. Also there is a dragon flying beneath the Kannon. The vase has four large Satuma Mons, and is signed "Miiyama Made"(the same Japanese characters could also be "Shinzan Made"). The condition of the vase is excellent with some wear to the gold covered rim. The asking price includes shipping within the USA, using the UPS, pack and ship guarantee(plus insurance). No international shipping.
