Royal Satsuma Double-Handled Lidded Tureen or Censer

This is a decorative ceramic lidded vessel in the Royal Satsuma style, likely originating from mid-to-late 20th-century mass production for the export market. The item features a squat, bulbous body supported by a flared pedestal base, flanked by two ornate, gilded C-scroll handles. The domed lid is crowned with a distinctive gilded finial shaped like two stylized swans or phoenixes joined back-to-back. The surface is heavily decorated using the moriage technique, characterized by raised, textured enamel work and extensive gilding. The central cartouches depict traditional Japanese genre scenes, including figures in kimonos (bijin) within a landscape featuring a pagoda and water. The surrounding areas are densely packed with floral motifs (millefleurs), geometric patterns, and diaper borders in a palette of gold, cobalt blue, rose, and earthy tones. While marked 'Royal Satsuma', this indicates a decorative style rather than an antique piece from the Satsuma kilns of the Meiji period. The glaze displays the characteristic fine crackle texture associated with this ware. The overall condition appears excellent with vibrant colors and intact gilding, showing no visible chips or significant wear, though it lacks the hand-painted refinement of 19th-century originals.
