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. This classic period bottle is gray with a brown Japanese kanji character on the outside. There is also a braided twine rope tied around the neck of the bottle for decoration/carrying.
