This is a well thrown larger bottle by a giant in the in Tokoname industry, Michiko Osako (1940-1995). The belly is round, creating a compositional tension through its curvilinear form: the slender shoulder carefully moving up towards a meticulously shaped lip. The olive green ash glaze hugs the torso of this form, emphasizing the stoneware's warmth. Ash glaze is used throughout this Sake vessel, best epitomizing the textured Tokoname clay. The texture of the sake bottle surface recalls the stones of moss-grown Buddha statues in the temples of Tokoname.
This bottle has the iconic sand-like clay texture of Tokoname wares, which are known for its mass production from Ise Bay.
