The typical Satsuma ware we most of the time comes into contact with is a yellowish earthenware usullay decorated with a minute decoration with Japanese figures, expressive faces or detailed oriental landscapes, or sometimes embellished with vivid dragons in relief. This ware is in fact an export product specifically designed in the mid 19th century to cater to the western export market. The Japanese themselves had very little interest in this ware.

From around the 1890\'s to the early 1920\'s at least twenty larger studios or factories were producing \"Satsuma\" wares of which much were of low quality and destined for the European and American export markets. Most of the marks below will detail this latter wares since this is what we see most of.

At the same time, other artists were producing exquisite wares of the highest quality. There were many masterpieces created during its heyday and several studios have created eternal fame for their names with these magnificent wares. Most high quality export \'Satsuma\' is easily recognized by its finely crackled glaze and by the fact that its yellowish earthenware body does not \"ring\" when tapped. The production soon spread to several cities such as Kyoto, Tokyo, Nagoya, Yokohama and elsewhere throughout Japan, from the Meiji period (1868-1912) up until today.

The original Satsuma Han however has a much longer history than that. If you click the map icon to the right you will find this as the Satsuma area on the southern Kyushu island. The first historical kilns here were established by Korean potters in the late 16th century. These first wares were a massive and hard stoneware, covered with a thick dark glaze, a ware that are so rare that only museums might have a few to show.

The circle with a cross that often make up a part of the marks, are the Shimazu mon or the family crest of the clan that ruled Satsuma Han however I doubt that any one of the Shimazu clan ever owned or, let alone ordered one Satsuma export style ware piece to be made. If that however had been the case, the crest would in that case been blue, since that was also the Shimazu clan colors.

The success of the Satsuma export decorative style inspired many followers, some of which have a stoneware body or one of pure white porcelain. Just to make it easier for the interested collector to find his way to the information offered here, I have chosen to collect any and all Satsuma looking wares, here.

Ceramics bearing the Satsuma Kamon were made well outside of the borders of Kyushu. Items for export were often decorated with obscure and unrelated themes chosen for their drama and exotism. Thease wares thus inspired a whole design movement in the West known as Japonism.

Satsuma was produced in Kagoshima, Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, and Kanazawa by hundreds of known artists, in many styles and by literally thousands of unknown decorators. Meizan has pieces authenticated as being done inKanazawa (Kutani). For most of the \"Zan brothers\" nothing is known, in spite of very good quality work and many good studio pieces are simply unmarked.
