Collection of Four Japanese Tamba Tokkuri Sake Bottles

About the Item

A set of four Japanese Ceramic Tokkuri Sake storage bottles circa early 20th century (Meiji to Taisho period). The bottles were made in Tamba (Tanba) kilns, located in Tachikui, Hyogo Prefecture. One of the six ancient kilns in Japan, the origin of Tamba ware can be dated to the medieval period and it was known for the pieces used for storage, particularly famous for its sake bottles. This collection of four bottles all feature dark natural brown glaze with various shades. One shows a little iridescent lust. Three bottles has white inscriptions using a slip trailing technique called itchin, showing either the name or the location of the sake shop on the vessel. One bottle displays only black dripping glaze applied to the mouth and freely flown down along the body. These bottles are heavily potted for practicality. They are full of rustic Mingei (folky) spirit and ooze Wabi-Sabi charm. They range from 10 to 13 inches in height.

Japanese Ceramic Sake Bottle Chosen Karatsu Ware

Early Japanese Satsuma Antique Vase

By Satsuma

Located in Atlanta, GA

An Satsuma ceramic stone ware vase, circa 19th century, around the end of the Edo and the beginning of Meiji period. In the form of a Classic garlic bottle whose prototype was from China, the white bodied piece is decorated with an early form of kin nishikide, the so called golden brocade, a palette of iron-red, blue, green, yellow, purple and black with golden highlight. The over glazed enamel paint shows a group of robed figures in a garden setting with a lion and three tigers. A transparent overall glaze shows very fine crackles. The design is relatively sparse with plenty of negative space in contrast to the Satsuma production from the late 19th century, when the trend became fussy and overly glitz, due to the influence by the perceived western taste for the export market. This piece may still be made for export but its pattern was more influenced by both Kyoto Pottery and the Kano school of painting compared to the export ware by the end of the 19th century onward to the early 20th century. It was believed by many that this was a result of Satsuma potters visiting Kyoto in the late seventeenth century to learn over glaze painting techniques. There are some age glaze crackles especially around the foot. The piece is not signed in keeping with the earlier production before Satsuma ceramics...
