Japanese Okinawa Ceramic Showa Period Awamori Sake Pottery Dachibin Hip Flask

About the Item

A wonderful hand painted and decorated traditional Okinawan ceramic awamori/sake flask, also known as a dachibin. These handcrafted pieces were originally designed to be carried and worn against the hip, hence the curved shape. This piece is from a collector of fine Japanese and Asian ceramics and pottery works - a collection like no other we have seen. We believe this flask is from the early to mid-1900s. Would be a great addition to any Japanese ceramics or artefacts collection or interesting eye-catching stand-alone accent piece. Dimensions: 4" High, 6" Wide, 3" Deep.
