Antique Japanese Blue & White Sake Bottle — 1880s, Meiji Era
A Beautiful Example of Functional Art from 19th-Century Japan

This authentic antique Japanese sake bottle, crafted in the 1880s during the Meiji Era, showcases the elegance of blue-and-white porcelain—a timeless aesthetic deeply rooted in Japanese ceramic tradition. Featuring hand-painted floral motifs in deep indigo, this bottle carries both historical charm and artistic craftsmanship.

The bottle’s gracefully rounded body and narrow neck are complemented by natural crackle glazing and a woven cord detail at the neck—preserving the feel of its original utilitarian purpose. Once used for serving sake in traditional inns or households, it now makes a striking decorative accent or a coveted addition to any antique collection.

Whether displayed on a shelf, used as a rustic flower vase, or appreciated as part of a Japanese ceramics collection, this piece exudes quiet beauty and cultural authenticity.
