    Unfortunately it is a Chinese imitation of Satsuma of the late 20th c or newer.

    First of all, the figures in the scene wear Chinese costume. The enamels and gilding are not right. The vase is white porcelain coated in a cream coloured glaze (as you can see on the bottom) while Japanese satsuma is earthenware with a fine crackle glaze. There are many other elements which are not right, too. Still it is a nice, decorative vase.
