SALE Charming Blue White Stoneware Sake Pitcher & Small Glasses Set

Pottery : Barware

 

This is a very nice blue and white ceramic barware set which, I believe, is a sake set, though it looks a bit Mexican to me, and perhaps is a tequila set. Wonderful handpainted blue and off-white design appears on the diminutive pitcher and 6 small cups. The set is made of red stoneware. All pieces are in very nice condition with no chips or cracks. Very fine crazing can be seen in bright light on the pitcher.

There is also a strip of what I think is varnish under the woven handle. It looks like the handle was varnished and the lacquer dripped down onto the pitcher. It looks a bit like a shadow from the handle. This might be removable with a solvent, but I haven't tried, as I don't find it bothersome.

The pitcher stands 7" tall and the cups are 1 3/4" tall. Diameter of the pitcher is roughly 3 1/3", cups are 2". The set comes in a box that was somewhat crudely tailor-made for these pieces. Nice set for a collection, regardless of what you pour from the pitcher!
