A simple yet striking bulbous form Tokkuri in a pale almost celadon like off white glaze. 

The glaze in reality is most like an ash glaze which is common in everyday ceramics like this tokkuri. It does not bare the usual kanji indicating the shop or seller so this was likely for private use. 

It is a beautiful form, the absence of extra design or kanji makes this very sculptural. 

It has a simple natural rope around the neck.

In good overall condition, with some marks on the body.  
There is some wire wound around the top of the neck. I can see a little shallow cracking on the inside of the neck, but to me it looks like just cracks in the glaze, I don't believe they run all the way through. So I dont think the wire is holding anything together. Its possible this wire has there to secure the stopper. Its original to it, so I am inclined to leave it on. 

Measures 27cm tall x approx 18cm wide

Found in Kyoto on our recent trip in May 2026
