Satsuma ware was originally developed in Japan during the 17th century, but the highly decorated style seen here is characteristic of late 19th and early 20th-century pieces made for export to Western markets. Common designs, such as the flowers and peacock depicted, were chosen to appeal to Western consumers and often featured a lavish use of gold and polychromatic enamel overglaze. The warm, cream-colored background with a crackled glaze is a distinctive feature of this type of pottery. The term "Satsuma" eventually came to refer to this specific style rather than a geographical area, with quality varying over time.
