Pottery Sake Bottle (Tokkuri) Markings on the Bottom: Old tools, folk craft Dimensions (approximate): Diameter - Mouth: approx. 3.8cm / Base: approx. 4.7cm Height: approx. 12.5cm This sake bottle was found during the整理 of an old folk house. It is believed to be from the late Edo period, Meiji, Taisho, or the first half of the Showa era, but details such as the maker (markings on the bottom) and the year of manufacture are unknown due to the lack of a wooden box (kyobako). As far as I have checked, there are no noticeable chips or cracks, but there may be oversights. I have cleaned it before listing, but I don't think the dirt (especially inside) has been completely removed. I hope you will appreciate the crazing on the rim, which appears to be from the firing process (jigan), the moist and calm luster, the texture, and the feel, as well as the aging and the aesthetic qualities, including kiln marks, as part of its "scenery and expression." The color may differ slightly from the actual item due to the performance of your device and the lighting. This item is for those who are attracted to "antiques, old tools, folk crafts, antique, vintage, and retro" items. Please consider the above points before making a purchase. Type...
