Antique Style Japanese Satsuma Water Lily Button Ring Gilt Sterling Silver Sz 8

Artisan ring featuring a hand-painted Japanese Satsuma porcelain button set in a gold gilt sterling silver bezel. The button displays a detailed purple and red water lily scene with green and gold accents, rendered over a traditional creamy off-white ceramic with visible kannyu (crazing). The porcelain insert likely dates to the early 20th century, though the exact age of the ring and setting is unknown. The piece shows wear consistent with age, including losses to the gilt and painted design. A unique example of Japanese-inspired jewelry incorporating antique ceramics into modern ring forms.
