Unusual late Meiji (1900s) Japanese ceramic tokkuri - sake bottle - in classic shape with silver lining to the mouth and decoration of flowering lotus flowers among scrolling vines above stylized leaves and under abbreviated clouds. The bottle is decorated in fa-hua technique developed by Chinese at the end of the 15th century, with lines of raised slip keeping colored glazes from running together, very much like cloisonne technique. Color scheme also follows closely the fa-hua palette with yellow, aubergine and turquoise enamels. Signed in underglaze blue on the bottom DAI NIHON EIRAKU ZO for one of the later generations of potters from the Eiraku line. Very pleasant and well made piece, quite rare, in excellent condition. Height 5 inches.
