Vintage Japanese ceramic sake bottle (tokkuri) with bold 酒 kanji on the front, finished in brown and black glaze. The form and decoration fit a traditional factory-molded serving bottle, intended for sake service and display.
Traditional tokkuri silhouette with a flared mouth, narrow neck, and rounded body.
Glossy brown upper section transitions to a deep black lower body; the contrast is strong and decorative.
Front is marked with the kanji 酒, the classic character for sake.
Includes the cork stopper with twine tie as shown in the photos.
Overall condition is good with light surface wear consistent with age and handling.
Made for serving sake, this piece now works well as a shelf display, bar accent, or collectible Japanese pottery item.
