Today, it can be divided into two distinct categories: the original plain dark clay early Satsuma (古薩摩, Ko-Satsuma) made in Satsuma from around 1600, and the elaborately decorated export Satsuma (京薩摩, Kyō-Satsuma) ivory-bodied pieces which began to be produced in the nineteenth century in various Japanese cities. By adapting their gilded polychromatic enamel overglaze designs to appeal to the tastes of western consumers, manufacturers of the latter made Satsuma ware one of the most recognized and profitable export products of the Meiji period. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediadone in multicolored glazes and glittering gold on a crackled white ground. The name reflects their being made in Kyoto (Kyō) but originating from a style developed in Satsuma, present day Kagoshima prefecture, Kyushu. Satsuma ware astounded Westerners at the Paris International Exposition of 1867 and at the Vienna International Exposition of 1873, leading to a rage for what became known simply as "Satsuma." News of the fame in the West of gold-patterned (kinrande) Satsuma soon reached the Awadaguchi area of Higashiyama in Kyoto, which has a long history of ceramic production reaching back to the Edo period (1615–1868). It inspired them to start producing their own “Kyō [Kyoto] Satsuma.” - COPIED FROM THE INTERNET A STICKER ON THE BOTTOM SAYS GENUINE KUTANI. MY FRIEND SAID THAT THESE ARE DEFINITELY NOT KUTANI WARE. I DON'T KNOW AND HAVE NO IDEA AS TO THEIR AGE OR HOW TO IDENTIFY THEM. THEY DO HAVE THE SAME APPEARANCE AS SOME ITEMS I SEE ON EBAY.
