This exquisite Satsuma plate is a masterpiece of Japanese ceramic art. The front is lavishly adorned in the prized kinran-de (gold-brocade) style, where a rich golden ground is densely packed with meticulously hand-painted chrysanthemums, peonies, and swirling foliage in delicate raised enamels of soft coral, ivory, pale green, and mauve. Each petal and leaf is outlined in fine white slip trailing that catches the light, creating a subtle three-dimensional effect against the shimmering gilt background. The rim is edged in a warm burnished gold that glows like molten metal. Turned over, the reverse reveals the characteristic creamy crackle-glazed body typical of Satsuma ware, with a simple, unglazed foot ring and faint traces of age. Resting on an elegant carved stand, the plate exudes the refined opulence and technical virtuosity for which imperial Satsuma is celebrated, a tiny jewel of decorative art that captures the fleeting beauty of a Japanese autumn garden frozen in gold and porcelain.
