*''Japanese'': 薩摩焼 ''(Satsuma yaki)''
Satsuma wares refers to two unrelated types of pottery. Early Satsuma wares, produced up through the 18th century chiefly for use in [[tea ceremony]], were simple, cream-colored ceramics with a pale, finely-crackled yellow glaze. Beginning in the [[Meiji period]], however, the term came to refer to a style of works lavishly decorated in gold and polychrome overglazes, with exceptionally detailed multi-color images of figures or scenes. While the earlier type were chiefly produced in [[Satsuma province]], the latter type are produced in [[Kyoto]], [[Osaka]], and elsewhere, in addition to being produced in Satsuma.
