Antique Japanese Satsuma-Style Ewer Pitcher with Gilded Merchant Scene

Add a touch of old-world charm to your space with this vintage Japanese Satsuma-style ewer, measuring approximately 5.5" tall. This beautifully hand-painted ceramic pitcher showcases a merchant or noble court scene in rich red, gold, and black, surrounded by raised enamel (moriage) detailing and fine gilt accents. The ornate bamboo-style handle and sculptural spout give it a dramatic, decorative silhouette. Likely produced during the mid-20th century (Showa era, circa 1950s–1970s), this piece was created for export and designed to capture the elegance of older Japanese ceramics during the height of the post-war Japonisme revival. Condition: Good vintage condition with age-appropriate crazing. There is a tiny chip on the inside of a spout. Ideal for collectors or vintage décor lovers. #SatsumaStyle #JapanesePitcher #VintageEwer #MoriageCeramic #OldWorldCharm #VintageAsianDecor #ShowaEra #JapaneseExportWare #HandPaintedJug #OrientalCollectible #MerchantScene #GildedPottery #BambooHandleJug #MidCenturyCeramic #JapaneseDecor
