Antique Japanese Satsuma Moriage Porcelain Sitting Buddha. Antique Japanese Satsuma Moriage Porcelain Sitting Buddha Dai Nippon Figure 1920s. Antique Japanese Satsuma Moriage Porcelain Sitting Buddha Dai Nippon Figure 1920s Taisho period. Moriage is a slip decoration of raised enamels. It occurs on Satsuma wares as early as circa 1890 but tends to be more carefully applied on early pieces. Moriage also seems to be limited to pieces made outside of the Satsuma domain while being typical for Kyoto Satsuma ware. Crudely applied moriage indicates a dating in the 20th century and was popular on true porcelain well into the 1950s.

One of the more popular decorations in this manner is the well known Dragon Ware, where the slip decoration can be so generously applied as to look like cake frosting. Stunning in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, marks or signs of repair, light wear consistent with age use (see Images). Signed on the bottom Dai Nippon (Great Japan).
