Antique Hand Painted Satsuma Buttons

Antique Satsuma buttons are highly detailed, hand-painted Japanese ceramic buttons produced primarily from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, particularly during the Meiji period (1868–1912). Originating from Kagoshima (Satsuma Domain), these tiny, intricate works of art were primarily created as luxury export items for Western markets, featuring fine gold detailing, crackle glazes, and natural or mythological motifs.
