Ko-Imari Red-Painted Gourd-Shaped Tokkuri (Sake Bottle) Late Edo Period This is a visually striking red-painted tokkuri from the late Edo period. Due to recent housing situations, larger tokkuri have become quite rare at antique markets. Among them, this tokkuri is not too large and I think it's just the right size for display. It has a strong presence, and the patterns drawn with fine red paint enhance the white porcelain, giving it a clean and refreshing feel without being overly ornate. The patterns, such as butterflies and flowers, are cute, and the indigo blue accents seen here and there tighten the overall impression. It's nice to display and admire, and I think you can enjoy it by arranging a single branch of cherry blossoms or other branches in it. For those who like it. Thank you.
