  • Sake Decanter, Tokkuri, Hand Painted Porcelain, Japanese Symbols / Circles, Vintage Barware, Sake Lovers, Japanese, (Discontinued)
  • Vintage: 1980's (estimated)
  • Details:  This sake tokkuri is hand painted, in vibrant colors with lots of gold accents and moriage on the cherry blossoms.  The circles are all actually Japanese symbols, mostly for luck and a very interesting part of Japanese culture.  We can identify: "Yukiwa", depicted in a blue circle; it's a "Good Sign" symbol, something good will happen.  There's "Hishi", the circle with red & green diamonds; that stands for Generativity (caring for the elderly and the children), also Prosperity.  There are Cherry Blossoms, a beautiful symbol of Beginning.  The "Pines" (the circle with dark green looking clouds), typically seen together with Bamboo, which may be the next circle that looks like palm tree fronds, that is a symbol of auspiciousness (promising success; opportunity; favorable. prosperous).  So all in all, a wonderful vessel of well wishes for the owner, makes a great gift, perhaps for someone starting out on a new journey.   It is marked on the bottom with a traditional oriental red square stamp, but we're unable to identify the maker.  Not only a great gift, but also makes a nice piece of decor.  If you're looking for an accent piece for your bar or bookshelf, this is a great choice.  Would be an excellent hostess gift for the sake lover.
