Japanese Blue White Tokkuri Imari Arita Sake Bottle stock #L8J2lastSaki
$135
An old Japanese saki storage bottle in good condition except for some manufacturing flaws which only add to its character and charm. They include firing cracks on the rim, a spot where it touched another bottle in the kiln, and some loss at the base which may have also happened during firing. These type of saki bottles were used as everyday ware by Japanese people and were not made for export. Desired by collectors they also make excellent vases. The bottle is stable and measures about 10.5” high by 5.5” diameter. Circa 1900. |
