The bowl is of circular shaped form decorated in blue and white with temple and landscape scenes to the interior, exterior and base with gilt highlights. The base has the Shimazu mon (clan crest) in gilt above an indistinct two-character mark.
25.5cm diameter, 11cm high
The interior landscape scene has slightly discoloured. The foot rim has a small drilled hole in it otherwise it is in good condition.
This bowl was probably produced and decorated in Kyoto. Satsuma ware with continuous landscape scenes in monochrome did not begin to be produced until after the World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago in 1893.
