THESE TWO SPECTACULAR AND VERY RARE ANTIQUE (1880 TO 1900) HANDMADE AND HAND PAINTED JAPANESE SATSUMA VASES WITH ELEPHANT HEAD HANDLES EACH MEASURE 25cm TALL AND ARE 14.5cm ACROSS THE RIM OF THE VASES. EACH VASE HAS A SERIES OF TRADITIONAL HAND PAINTED SCENES OF THE PERIOD. THESE VASES SELL FOR MANY R1 000's. I HAVE ATTACHED A FEW LINKS OF SIMILAR VASES. BOTH THE VASES HAVE SMALL REPAIRED CHIPS ON THE BASES (SEE PICS). THE HAND PAINTED CARTOUCHE ON THE BASE OF THE VASES CONFIRMS THAT THE VASES WERE MADE BY KIZAN AND ARE AUTHENTIC CHINESE MEIJI PERIOD PIECES. THIS IS A TRULY MAGNIFICENT FIND. THERE IS AGE RELATED WEAR AND TEAR, PLEASE VIEW THE PICS CAREFULLY.

FROM THE INTERNET: "Dai Nippon, Kizan, Tsukuru - "Great Japan, Kizan, (artist). made". It is generally accepted that marks that includes "Dai Nippon" in Japanese characters on the whole date to the Meiji (1868-1912) period, reflecting the greatly increased nationalism of that period. This mark Meiji period, around 1880 - 1900."
