Antique Japanese Satsuma Porcelain Robe Pin Brooch Gilt Handpainted Meiji Geisha

Brass cinquefoil pin body, possibly originally gilt; painted miniature portrait, five geisha with fan. From a notable Dallas collection, a lovely gem-like lady's brooch in a warm traditional-form, cast gilt brass five-lobe bezel body, set with a very nicely preserved five-lobe porcelain miniature of five geisha, one with gilt fan. Fine detail, individuality of subjects. Attractive fired gilt dress ornamentation, border frame and beaded outline.

Stamped on the pin body: the Shimazu clan mark on the brass back. 1.25 diameter, great detail. Overall good condition, nice surfaces, rich warm patina on the metal. No condition issues, no crazing, normal microbrasions in gilt.

Truly a great survivor of a transitional artisanship battling mass production. We're proud to offer it. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Cultures & Ethnicities\Asian\Pre-1900".
