Echizen Tokkuri 300 ml

Stoneware

Hôgetsugama

This sake bottle is approx. 13.6 cm high and 8.2 cm wide.

The rough surface creates a rustic feel, while the ash-glaze has left a natural and unique decoration. Sake bottles are called tokkuri (徳利) in Japan. They are usually used to serve Japanese rice wine, which is known in Japan by the name nihonshu (日本酒). However, the line between vases and sake bottles is blurred, which is why bottles made with wood-firing, like this one, are also used as vases. The only important thing is not to use them interchangeably, as residues can build up when used as a vase.
