Subject:Japanese Ceramic Sake Bottle - Age ??
Posted By: Peter Thu, Nov 10, 2022 IP: 178.115.39.31

Although it's not something I normally collect, I've recently acquired this ceramic bottle which I believe was used to hold Sake.
It stands c. 20cm high.

I'd be grateful to acquire any further information about this item and, if possible. it's estimated age.

Thank you in advance.

For some reason, my 'portrait' format photos appear compressed. Please find attached two further photos (in 'landscape' format) which should show the bottle in it's true proportions.
Please accept my apologies.

Hi, this an early 20th century stoneware imitation of a popular early 19th century porcelain bottle used to export sake from nagasaki to amsterdam, it is popular and "re-made" up to this day in japan. best guess this bottle is from the very late meiji/taisho era.
