Yazaemon White Sake Cooler
Although small in size, one can appreciate the detailed and elegant patterns of the “Old Imari” style crafted on this white sake cooler.
It is perfect for chilling sake bottle as small as 360 ml (12.2 oz), and a half size of wine would be just right.
It can also be used in a variety of ways, depending on your ideas. It can be used to hold small items, as a flower vase, or placed as is on a shelf for interior decoration.
The deep blue color comes from the signature technique seen on Old Imari pieces called “sometsuke” where a blue and white glaze is the first given to the product.
The patterns of chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms, pine, bamboo, and plum are gorgeous, and the gold lines accentuate the design.
