For anyone who has more experience in describing this type of work, I'd really appreciate your help...
Words that come to mind include applique...
Is there a better way to describe the application of the decoration on this piece?
It was made in Japan.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Its a lovely piece
I would describe the flowers or floral and leaves as 'being in relief'. That is what I've put in my own auction with similiar piece.

I believe its late Satsuma. Made around the 1930S/40S.

Actually, I would have to see the bottom before I would be willing to date it. The design is so think yet sparce, that it maybe a reproduction.

Sorry, I forgot to say this about the decoration. The decoration is raised, hand applied, hand painted then fired. Hope that gives you a few ideas.

Wayne, it is done in the traditon of Satsuma, the next question I would ask as a collector, is the age of the piece. I would need to see the bottom and its maker's markings.

hmmm, that is an interestin mark for a Japan piece. Normal the older pieces of satsuma will not say anything or at the most, just Japan. And then there is the style and the color of the lettering. Both of which look suspicious.
With out being able to feel the weight, I would put my guess on this being one of the pieces done between 1950 and 1990. Perhaps some of the other Satsuma people would like to chime in.
It is still a pretty decorative piece.

I was thinking the same thing. The made in Japan is in ink. Something older like that normally would be stamped in before firing. This would lead me to think it is a fairly recent piece. Like in the past 10-20 years.

It appears to be slip decorated - could it be very late moriaga? Kind of like the dragon ware tea sets?

This is NOT Satsuma. Moriage is the term and I would date it to the mid to late 20th century.

Thank you so much, Cheryl! You've come to the rescue - and I trust your experience on this one.
Also, to everyone else, thank you very much for your suggestions and ideas on how to describe this "hand-applied slip" decoration. Now, let's see if anyone wants it this week...
