     Satsuma is a type of Japanese porcelain originally from southern Japan, especially the Satsuma province. It is known for its fine, creamy glaze and detailed, often lavish hand-painted decorations featuring motifs such as flowers, figures, and scenes from Japanese culture. Satsuma porcelain became especially popular in Europe and America in the 19th century as exclusive collector’s items.
