A large and impressive Japanese Satsuma dish

A fine pair of japanese satsuma plates, meiji / taishō period (1868–1926) each circular plate finely decorated to the centre with an elaborate polychrome scene depicting a group of elegantly attired figures, including a female deity and warriors, accompanied by a dragon, amidst a fantastical landscape of towering rock formations, cascading waters and densely scrolling clouds. the composition is enriched with intricate details in green, blue, aubergine, ochre and iron-red enamels, highlighted throughout with gilt on a finely crackled cream-coloured ground. each plate is framed by a broad iron-red border embellished with repeating geometric motifs in gilt, creating a striking contrast with the intricately painted central scene. a decorative and visually compelling pair exemplifying the richly ornamented aesthetic of japanese satsuma wares.
