Good morning NMB!

 

Available today is a stunning sake bottle by a Bizen potter that beautifully combines the thousand year history of the style with modern aesthetic.

 
Kenji Takenaka’s works are hard to come by, and this is one of the most fabulous pieces of sake ware I’ve seen come out of his kiln.  A powerful, classic Bizen form from the Momoyama period is masterfully executed in black Bizen clay, which creates a stunning contrast against the natural ash glaze that graced the pot during firing.  
 
This piece is in perfect condition and measures 15.5cm tall by 14 cm wide. Its generous size adds versatility, functioning perfectly as either a sake bottle or flower vase. Comes with its original signed box. 
 
$180 shipped to the USA, international buyers please contact me for a quote.  
 
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional pics.  Thanks for looking!
