Vintage Japanese Late Showa Era Ceramic Tokkuri Sake Bottle Vase w/ Grapes 10” Funadansu with original storage boxThis is a vintage Japanese Tokkuri (sake bottle). It is made of ceramic fired at high temperatures for lasting durability. It has a nice design in a rich blue glaze and a rim of brown at the top. The opening at the top has been shaped to form a little bit of a spout to aid in pouring. With exception to minor signs of use, this sake bottle remains in fine condition.
