How do I identify my Satsuma ware?
All Satsuma ware is earthenware. You can tell it from porcelain by the weight. Pottery is heavier and won’t have the eggshell glow when held up to the light and won’t resonate like porcelain does when tapped. If the decoration looks like Satsuma but it is porcelain, then it is likely Kutani.
When was Royal Satsuma made?
Satsuma has actually been made since around 1600, but those were not for export, and very few featured faces until the mid-19th century.
