Genuine Antique Meiji Period Fine Pair Satsuma Vases Signed Kusube And Numbered

Meiji period's (late 19th Century) fine pair of antique satsuma vases marked'Kusube'?? And numbered to the bases. The vases have a dark blue glaze ground beautifully hand decorated in gilt moriage style, each of rectangular form having four panels depicting different scenes. The vases are in excellent condition, no damages or repairs with only some age-related wear to the gilding.

The signature to the bases is Sennosuke Kusube, not to be confused with the son Yaichi Kusube, considering the year of birth of Yaichi (1897), it is clear that all of Kusube's work made in Meiji and early Taisho period can be attributed to Kusube Sennosuke. And given the style of work, it also seems certain that all the Kyoto-Satsuma work from the later Taisho and Showa I periods was produced by Sennosuke. Possibly Yaichi helped his father (who was in his seventies at the beginning of Showa period) with the development of the more modern Kusube work from the Taisho and Showa period.
