Tokkuri (sake pourer) in an oribe glaze by Tetsuya Kowari from March 2026.

Tokkuri are slim necked bottles with curved foundations, typically used for warm sake (to hold in the heat), but versatile in their upright posture and water-tight seal. 

Comfortable to use with one hand or suitable for floral displays, this vessel will easily find a place in any home.

We have four in this series - each sold individually.

Tetsuya Kowari produces extraordinary vessels that seem almost too sculptural to use but are in fact are all highly functional. These are pieces designed for daily use, or simply for daily contemplation of their incredible aesthetic.

Kowari creates his pieces in a wood fired anagama kiln in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, and the DEA Store is the official stockist of Tetsuya Kowari work in Australia.
