Here are three very different hand painted Satsuma buttons from Japan, all of which I love. The third one I think is a little more modern than the other two and very colourful. The second with three ladies is a traditional type of design. The first shows a Geisha Girl with her sunshade and is really attractive. They all have the crackled glaze which is typical of Satsuma buttons.
I also show the back view of the Geisha Girl which in this case has been signed.
