Vintage Japanese Pottery Sake Bottle Kayoi-Tokkuri
This is a vintage Japanese ceramic sake bottle. It is called a Kayoi-Tokkuri and is used to pour sake. The commuting sake bottle became popular as a rental container for liquor stores in the Edo period when sake began to be consumed daily. It is covered in brown glaze and has beige characters on the body, with a straw string around the neck. There is a spout around the bottom with a cork, though the cork seems stuck. The body is round, and the neck is thin.
