Vase - Stoneware, Bizen clay - Japan - Bizen ware Sanpo-type

A fine Japanese Bizen ware sake bottle (round-shaped tokkuri) with a beautifully balanced spherical form, showcasing the subtle and natural kiln effects characteristic of authentic Bizen firing. This piece features a compact yet full-bodied silhouette, with rich gradations of earthy brown and dark iron tones created through high-temperature wood firing. The softly rounded body allows for excellent heat retention, making it particularly well suited for enjoying warm sake. Despite its modest size, the refined surface texture and firing marks reveal a high level of craftsmanship, making this piece appealing both for practical use and for collectors of Japanese ceramics. Approximate dimensions: Height: 11.8 cm Width: 9.0 cm Depth: 9.0 cm Condition: Good. No cracks, chips, or restorations. Natural firing texture and minor variations consistent with Bizen ware. Shipping: The item will be carefully packed and shipped from Japan with tracking to ensure safe delivery. ※Important Information – Please Read Before Bidding※ Customs duties, VAT, and import clearance fees are not included in the shipping cost and are the responsibility of the buyer. These charges vary depending on your country’s import regulations and are beyond the seller’s control. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
