This came in the mail today. i won it on ebay and i just love it! it's 6.5" tall and signed on the bottom with a red stamp, but i can't make out anything in the mark. would it be described as moriage? do you think it's Meiji? do you know anything about it?
i think that this is my favorite piece of pottery now!
This is a seriously wonderful piece. Congratulations!
thank you racer!
Really amazing great piece
This one really is beautiful! I found the original listing through an Image search, but didn't find another one like this one anywhere else on the web.
thank you Master and Efes! i really love it!
i found a few moriage / satsuma buddhas from 1900-1920s/1930s online, but ones like this are earlier. this is an especially nice one w/ the fancy necklace and eye shadow he's wearing.
i guess this is a bodhisattva - due to the necklace.
Stunning! If you live close to any museums that have Asian artifacts, the curator may be able to help. Or else a ticket to Antiques Roadshow!
thank you maryh! i just bought another piece of the same kind of satsuma. i'll post the pics now.
