Antique Japanese Sake Bottle with Rope Detail — 1880s, Meiji Era
A Timeless Piece of Rustic Elegance and Cultural Heritage

This authentic antique Japanese sake bottle, handcrafted in the late 19th century during the Meiji Era (circa 1880), beautifully captures the essence of traditional Japanese ceramic craftsmanship. Its warm amber glaze and earthy tones are enhanced by subtle hand-thrown ridges and natural kiln variations—each imperfection telling a story of age and artistry.

Topped with a narrow neck and original braided rope, this bottle was once used to store and serve sake in rural Japanese households and inns. Its balanced form and rich patina now make it a perfect decorative statement piece, ideal for collectors, designers, and lovers of antique folkware.

Whether displayed on its own or as a rustic vase, this bottle brings a quiet sense of wabi-sabi beauty and historic charm into modern interiors.
