ABOUT PRODUCTID 19379
This Satsuma mocha cup and saucer set, crafted in Japan during the 1920s Taisho era, presents a distinctive example of glazed, hand-painted porcelain. The ensemble is built on a matte, deep brown base with a creamy beige background, featuring a central motif of a lady or deity in a red kimono with a gilded aureole. The composition is enriched by stylized floral elements in red, yellow, orange, and blue, boldly contoured in black, while the rims of both cup and saucer are lined with hand-applied gold scrollwork. The handle is elegantly profiled and softly curved, with proportions balanced between height (5.6 cm) and diameter (5.5 cm). The surface invites the touch, revealing tactile gold reliefs and the subtle gesture of brushwork, enhancing the object’s authenticity. The set is preserved in very good condition with no chips or cracks, though fine craquelure in the glaze may be noticed—a hallmark of antique Satsuma porcelain.This cup speaks in the voice of 1920s Japan, when tradition met the advent of modern decorative artistry. The hand-painted figure amidst ornamental blooms seems to narrate a legend or a quiet afternoon ritual. The matte glaze diffuses light much like a misted porcelain surface
