Vintage set of Otani Ware Tokkuri (Decanter) and 5 Choko (Sake Cups)
Otani Ware is pottery from the Naruto area of Tokushima Prefecture that dates back to the 1780s
They are most known for producing huge jars that are almost the height of a human adult
For these large pieces, the artisan uses a technique called Nerokuro, lying beneath the pottery wheel and kicking it upwards to turn the piece
Everyday items such as rice bowls, tea and sake cups, as well as decorative pieces, are also produced
The tokkuri in this set is marked Tokushima Shinbun (Tokushima Newspaper) near the base, indicating this may have been an anniversary or commemorative piece
