Echizen Tokkuri 300 ml

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

The rough surface creates a rustic feel, while the ash glaze leaves 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, so bottles made with wood-firing, especially ones like this, 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.
