Gotheborg says the following about gosu blue Satsuma wares (gotheborg.com/marks/satsuma.shtml):
The colour Gosu Blue is found on a type of Satsuma which used to be called Imperial Satsuma circa late 19 century. Gosu Blue is distinctive with a very thick glaze that can be either dark blue, green or black depending on the firing. "Satsuma Gosu Blue" was produced in very limited quantity in Kyoto in the mid-19th century, and is now the most sought after of the Satsuma wares.
