We provide specialist valuations of Satsuma wares for clients throughout London and the UK. Whether for auction sale, probate, insurance, estate planning or collection management, our specialists offer clear, independent advice informed by market expertise and international demand.
From finely decorated Meiji-period Satsuma ceramics to later Japanese export wares, we value objects from one of the most distinctive traditions in Japanese decorative art, known for its intricate figural decoration and finely painted surfaces made for both domestic appreciation and international export markets. Key makers and workshops include Kinkozan Sobei, Yabu Meizan, Hattori Tadajiro, Taizan Yohei, and other leading Kyoto and Satsuma-region kilns, whose highly detailed enamelled wares remain especially sought after in the international market.
We regularly handle individual pieces and important private collections in our specialist Japanese Art auctions, attracting collectors and institutions across the UK, Europe and internationally.
