Bizen Tokkuri Sake Bottle - Vintage Japanese Pottery Vase With Signed Box

This Bizen Tokkuri sake bottle is a signed vintage piece of traditional Japanese ware, crafted in the rustic pottery style of Okayama pottery art. Measuring 4.7 inches tall and 3.3 inches wide (about 12 cm by 8.5 cm), this handmade pottery vase features a unique ash-covered surface and natural clay color, fired in a climbing kiln to create its distinctive texture and warm hues. Designed as both a Japanese ceramic bottle for serving sake and a flower vase gift, it offers an authentic taste of Japanese pottery vase craftsmanship with the added charm of a vintage sake bottle. The bottle weighs approximately 9.8 ounces (278 grams) and comes carefully boxed, making it an ideal gift for collectors or lovers of fine ceramics.

The Bizen Tokkuri sake bottle’s ash-covered surface results from being fired just below the fire opening in a climbing kiln, where embers create natural gradations of reddish-brown and grayish clay tones. This firing method produces no glaze, preserving the raw beauty of the clay while enhancing durability over time. Each piece is unique due to variations in kiln temperature and ash deposits, ensuring no two bottles are alike.
