Mid 20th Century Japanese Tokoname Pottery Sake Bottle

Japanese Tokoname Pottery Sake Bottle

Research brought up other bottles like this, but they were all in another country, presumably at Japan. I wasn’t able to find another bottle like this in the United States. The Auction house estimated the value of this bottle at $300. The age is unknown. I really have no idea since the only other similar bottles were described in another language and the Auction house didn’t say anything about the age. I had to put something down so I said the mid 1900s. The condition is very good. There is a mark on the bottom shown in a photo above.

Origin: Japan
Age: unknown
Height: 11 inches
Width: 4.5 inches
Condition: very good
Estimated value by the auction house: $300

My guarantee is that I will be honest about my items and fair with my pricing.

There are three steps involved in research and pricing for me.

1. I use an app called Google lens to take a photo of any item. This will bring up similar items, how they are described, and how much they cost.

2. I do a Google search for the name of the item.

3. I do a search for the item by name on this site to learn about other similar items.

Since I am being honest and fair with my pricing, I want you to know about the steps. It will only help by validating my pricing choices.

Feel free to ask me any questions or to make an offer.

Thank you,

Sherry
