Description

With a calm, earthy glaze and a slender, slightly rounded silhouette, this tokkuri shows its classic side. The shifting color nuances between warm brown and muted gray result from the interplay of glaze and firing temperature, lending the vessel a calm, understated elegance.

The simple form with its characteristically flared neck follows the traditional construction of Japanese sake bottles, which have been a fixed part of convivial drinking culture for centuries. Handcrafted details such as the slightly irregular wall reveal the freehand work on the potter's wheel.

This tokkuri comes from Kato Gozan and is delivered in a wooden box signed by the master potter. As a handcrafted unique work, it is a stylish companion for enjoying sake and a fine collector's piece of Japanese ceramic art.
