Satsuma ware (薩摩焼 satsuma-yaki),

Sometimes referred to as "Satsuma porcelain", is a type of Japanese earthenware pottery. It originated in the late 16th century, during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and is still produced today. Although the term can be used to describe a variety of types of pottery, the best known type of Satsuma ware has a soft crackled glaze with elaborate polychrome and gold decorations.

Satsuma ware originated when the Shimazu prince of the Satsuma domain in southern Kyūshū abducted skilled Korean potters after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Japanese Invasions of Korea to establish a local pottery industry. After display at the international exhibition in Paris in 1867, it proved popular as an export to Europe

Taizan Satsuma is a type of Japanese pottery made by the Takahashi family of potters in Kyoto. The pottery is known for its raised enamelled paint on a cream-colored background.
History:
The Takahashi family were potters in Awata as early as the 1670s
Taizan Yohei IX (1856–1922) was the head of the 9th and final generation of the family
Taizan won prizes at international events, including the 1893 Chicago World Expo
Taizan also decorated work for workshops such as Kinkozan
