Beautiful Antique Japanese 19thC Meiji Period Satsuma Kutani Moonflask Vase

Oriental Antiques from Collector to Collector. This wonder Japanese moonflask vase has elephant head handles and beautifully decorated with Morning Glory flower vine and Chrysanthemum/daisy flowers. The background are painted with Autumn grasses and raised dot-beads. Unlike Satsuma ware, which is made from earthenware pottery with crackle glaze, this vase is made from porcelain (which is why I think this vase is Kutani ware).

This vase is 7.5"H X 5.5"W (19.05cm X 13.97cm). Few shallow hairlines (not went-thru) on the bottom of the vase. Please study photos carefully for further condition detail.
