Antique Japanese Pottery Sake Bottle Kayoi-Tokkuri
This is an antique Japanese ceramic sake bottle. It is called a Kayoi-Tokkuri and is used to store and pour sake from a hole at the bottom, serving as a spout, though it doesn't have a bung. This pale gray bottle has a Kanji on the body. The commuting sake bottle became popular as a rental container for liquor stores in the Edo period, when sake began to be consumed daily.
