Japanese Camellia Katakuchi Sake Carafe - Traditional Ceramic Pouring Vessel for Sake, Wine & Cocktails - Perfect for Home Dining, Japanese Restaurants & Gift Giving

Product Description

 

Featuring the distinctive nami-yu glaze, made from the ashes of the Kyoto forest, this Katakuchi Sake carafe embodies a natural clay color in creamy-white. With leaves merging dark and light green shades, the camellia beautifully balances the white and red dyed petals. These petals stand out with a unique, raised, and glossy finish, contrasting with the watercolor-like backdrop of the leaves.

Each camellia design is hand-painted by individual Japanese-style painters from Tosen Kiln. These artisans, with a profound background in Japanese-style painting, offer more than mere decoration. 

The carafe's handle, crafted from a branch, presents a harmonious contrast between the smooth stoneware and the rustic wood texture. Holding the carafe, one is immediately drawn to the elegance of the camellia design. Every rotation of the carafe unveils the intricacy and grace of the design, making each pour a moment of artful experience.
