This unusual Meiji period Satsuma vase decorated in overglaze enamels and gilding, with a cockatoo perched on the branch of a flowering magnolia tree, has a gilt seal to the base for the Yabu Meizan workshop.
Identical to another 6in (15cm) vase sold at Bonhams New York in 2015 for $10,000 (plus 25% premium), it has an estimate of £6000- 8000 as part of Dreweatts’ sale in Donnington Priory on November 11.
