Tokkuri Sake Bottle

Hand-thrown and painted Tokkuri. Tokkuri is a term used to identify a range of sake bottles, but this collection is all ceramic bottles made by brewing companies, which is why you will find the tokkuri with things like "Liquor Store" or "Bar" painted on them. The case for these tokkuri being either brown or having a more "blue and white" ceramic style largely depends on the materials available and the nature of the kilns in that area.
