A small Japanese Satsuma koro with a pierced metal cover by an unknown maker, late 19th century. The vase is decorated with the Imperial chrysanthemum crest and three family crests, including the Paulownia of the Toyotomi clan, the Hollyhock leaves of the Tokugawa shoguns and the cross of the Shimazu clan who ruled over Satsuma, Ōsumi and Hyūga.

At the top corners can be found quarter-flower heads delicately painted in red and gold. Each mon is finely detailed. The metal lid might be silver, I have no way of testing it, it looks like silver to me and is finely detailed.

Approximately 6.5 cm high. Fine condition. Tiny losses to the gilding on the Shimazu mon.

Please study the photographs.
