A rare antique Japanese porcelain sake storage jar dating to the late Meiji to early Taisho period (circa 1900–1920s). Modeled after the traditional komodaru (ceremonial sake barrel), this substantial piece is richly detailed with twisted rope handles, braided ties, and a knot finial lid.
The front is hand-painted in cobalt blue and green enamels with auspicious calligraphy, merchant’s marks, and stylized motifs symbolizing prosperity and longevity. The reverse side is left plain, emphasizing the sculptural form and glossy white glaze. A lower spout, once fitted with a tap, recalls its functional use as a sake dispenser.
Dimensions: 13” wide, 13” deep, 15” high
