Sake tokkuri

This sake bottle/tokkuri was wheel thrown in my small pottery workshop in Taiwan. I made this form from Japanese red clay and then applied a dark temonku type glass. I first wood-fired this piece but was not pleased with the result. I then gave it a second chance by reduction firing it to 1265 degrees. The result was now ready to put in my Pinkoi shop. While throwing the piece I made three indentations that serve a few different purposes. It makes it more comfortable to hold, shows the softness that the clay once had, and also highlights the uniqueness of the piece. I love making pottery that can be enjoyed by people. Be the owner of a handmade tokkuri from the beautiful island of Taiwan. Detailed dimensions: Holds 250 ml Height: 11.5 cm
