Thank you for viewing. [Product Description] This is an Imari somenishiki kin-sai (colored overglaze with gold) flower and bird motif choshi (sake pourer) from the Meiji era. After the underdrawing was done with sometsuke (blue and white), it was fired, then re-fired with colored overglaze, and finally, gold leaf was applied, making it a very elaborate and skillful piece. A pair of auspicious golden roosters are depicted on the neck and body, chrysanthemums and plum blossoms on the lid and body, and a treasure gem motif on the foot, making this a choshi with auspicious designs for celebratory occasions. There are no later chips or cracks, and the condition is good. As this is a refined choshi, it is a masterpiece that will look great in your interior, in addition to being used in practice. ●Measurements: Height: Approximately 13.5cm Width: Approximately 14.0cm (including the spout) Weight: Approximately 314g, 382g Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements.
