| Description of works | 【Handsome o-dokkuri (giant sake bottle)】 This sake bottle is a handsome work with shiny black tetsuyu (iron-based glaze) lines radiating down from the neck. Much larger than the bottles normally used for sake today, these were used mainly for storing or transporting sake. These bottles were made by potters in Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture, whose works were distinguished from those of other producers by their charm. Tamba ceramics still have a large fan base. |
