<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 10288984, member: 8267&quot;]Japanese ceramic styles have often been named (by non-Japanese collectors) for the region in which they were made, or sometimes for the port from which they were shipped. Satsuma is a province on the island of Kyushu in Japan, and ceramics made in the region have a complicated history. Early Satsuma wares were made using a cream colored clay, and had a characteristic glaze with a fine crackle pattern. It was a lower fired clay, classed as &quot;pottery&quot;, rather than higher fired stoneware or porcelain. The type of clay body and styles of decoration changed over time, and the more popular types of export ware were copied by kilns in other regions. It has all been called &quot;Satsuma&quot;, however, because of similarities in the style of decoration.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satsuma_ware" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satsuma_ware" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satsuma_ware</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.gotheborg.com/marks/satsuma.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.gotheborg.com/marks/satsuma.shtml" rel="nofollow">https://www.gotheborg.com/marks/satsuma.shtml</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
