Satsuma pottery dates back to the 16th century and is still produced today in southern Japan around the Kagoshima region.

The distinguishing features of Satsuma ceramics are they have an ivory, creamy or off-white and sometime beige appearance.The pottery is then hand painted with brightly coloured enamels, gold and silver, in fine, intricate designs with careful attention to detail.

Most Satsuma artists decorated them freehand with traditional Japanese motifs and patterns such as foliage and flowers, landscapes, real and mythical birds and human figures engaged in ceremonial, military, or domestic activities.The thin translucent glaze with its applied design decoration deliberately ends up with a crackled finish.
