Bizen Sake bottle with a unique character that only wood-firing can create.
This handcrafted Bizen ware sake bottle embodies the essence of Japan’s oldest pottery tradition.
Fired in a wood-burning kiln without glaze, the surface reveals a natural, rough texture and deep earthy tones created by the flame and ash during firing. Each piece is shaped by the unpredictability of the kiln, resulting in unique variations that cannot be replicated.
