A 17th Century Japanese Blue and White Porcelain Sake Bottle, Arita Kilns c.1680-1700. The subject of this Sake is Saikan Sanyū , The ‘Three Friends of Winter’. This elegantly shaped, lightly potted, bottle has an everted rim which is rather thick apart from the rim, there is a clear line under the rim where the potter has formed the top. Closed forms such as this sake bottles are unusual, they are outnumbered by the large number of plates and dishes that were made in a wide range of shapes and designs.
