This is a Tokkuri (sake bottle) from the Meiji era (around the late 19th century), featuring a delicate grass pattern in pale blue underglaze on Imari-yaki white porcelain. The rounded body and the elegantly rising neck create a beautiful form, and the brushwork of the grass pattern, which makes good use of negative space, is light and airy. This piece has the appealing atmosphere of antique tools. It is suitable not only as a practical sake vessel but also as a display piece or a flower vase. Although it lacks flamboyance, it is an Imari piece that can be quietly enjoyed in everyday life. This item has a slightly wide mouth, providing stability, making it an excellent Tokkuri for use as a single-flower vase. The soft color of the white porcelain and the understated grass pattern in blue underglaze subtly complement each other. Simply inserting a seasonal flower or branch will add a quiet expression to the space. It is easy to match with both Japanese and Western settings, such as the alcove, shelves, or countertops, and is also recommended as a flower vase where you can enjoy the appearance of an antique tool. 【Size】 ・Height: approx. 11.8cm ・Body Diameter: approx. 7.8cm ・Mouth Diameter: approx. 4.1cm 【Weight】 ・Approx. 219g 【Condition】 ・No cracks or chips ・Minor kiln marks, glaze unevenness, and iron spots due to aging ・Generally in good condition for an antique item ※Please check the photos for the condition. 【Era/Origin】 This item is considered to be Imari-yaki (Imari-related).
