Old Tokkuri (sake bottle) from Karatsu. The entire lip area has been repaired (there are also areas on the body that appear to be repairs of chips). There are also scratches and chips due to aging (including those originating from the firing process). Therefore, please refrain from purchasing if you are seeking perfection or are overly concerned about condition. Only those who understand and appreciate old items and items with repairs are welcome to purchase. The age is estimated to be around the end of the Edo period, as it is an old Karatsu piece. Height: Approximately 19.5cm The repaired lip area and the scratches and kiln marks from aging and firing are noticeable, so the overall condition is listed as "poor." Due to the limited number of photos, some details may not be fully captured, but please carefully examine the images and consider the age of the item. By purchasing immediately, you are considered to have agreed to the condition. Please review the photos carefully before purchasing to avoid any misunderstandings such as "it's different from what I expected" after the purchase. #Karatsu #Saga #Nagasaki #HizenProvince #Momoyama #Pottery #Tokkuri #Tableware #Tea #OldKaratsuWare #OldKaratsu #YanagiSōetsu #BernardLeach #MingeiKiln #Mingei #Mingei #Japan #Antique #Antique
