<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sedona, post: 9618430, member: 4438&quot;]An antique appraiser told me just this (there’s a noted ceramics expert every year at the Los Angeles Pottery Show), as I have a circa 1900 Art Nouveau stylized rooster vase that’s made from a very pretty, creamy, Japanese-made blank. I hadn’t seen anything like it, it’s very well done, and it’s unsigned. He told me my vase is American Satsuma. There are a number of old pottery painting pattern books that were published. Using Japanese blanks was popular, and I’ve seen similar looking vases online searching for American Satsuma. There were some noted satsuma painting “schools” that sprung up too, so there are some of very high artistic quality that are signed.</p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of very talented women who didn’t work outside the home back then, especially around and pre-World War I, painted pottery and ceramics for a hobby or to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>This style reminds me of that, although I imagine if it’s European, the blank may be locally-sourced porcelain.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like this piece! It’s very striking and colorful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
