Late 19th century/early 20th century colourful Satsuma porcelain and emamel bowl. Exquisitely hand-painted flowers and lakeside scene depicting two pairs of magnificent Mandarin ducks. The ducks are painted in vibrant coulours especially the strutting male showing off his tale feathers! There are also Mandarin ducks decorated around the edge of the bowl. The Satsuma bowl has fine signature craze glaze with an intended decorative 'finger' indent on the side of the bowl with corresponding raised area inside. There is a very fie crack in the glaze on the side of the bowl. It is finsihed off with a finely edged gold and wine coloured geometric border. Overall, a stunning piece. Measurements: H 7.5cm; Diameter 18.5cm
