This sake bottle/tokkuri was wheel thrown in my small pottery workshop in Taiwan.
I made this form from Japanese red clay and then applied a dark temonku type glass.
I first wood-fired this piece but was not pleased with the result. I then gave it a second chance by reduction firing it to 1265 degrees. The result was now ready to put in my Pinkoi shop.
While throwing the piece I made three indentations that serve a few different purposes. It makes it more comfortable to hold, shows the softness that the clay once had, and also highlights the uniqueness of the piece.
I love making pottery that can be enjoyed by people.
Be the owner of a handmade tokkuri from the beautiful island of Taiwan.
