Pattern: Sake Tokkuri / Decanter, Hand Painted Japanese Symbols / Circles
Vintage: 1980's (estimated)
Details: This sake tokkuri is filled with so many Japanese symbols, we don't know where to start! This one looks hand painted, in vibrant colors with lots of gold accents and moriage on the cherry blossoms. The symbols are very interesting, 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), and 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 tops to us, these are symbols 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 great piece of decor. If you're looking for an accent piece for your bar or bookshelf, this is a great choice. Great oriental decor an excellent hostess gift, makes a great little vase too!
