Two spiraling Tokkuri Sake Flasks in vibrant color by Living National Treasure Tokuda Yasokichi I enclosed in the original signed wooden bos. Each is 8 cm (3 inches) diameter, 15 cm (6 inches9 tall and both are in excellent condition.
Tokuda Yasokichi I (1873-1956) was born into a family of textile dyers in Ishikawa prefecture, but entered the ceramics world under the tutelage of his Brother Matsumoto Sahei, specializing in the Yoshidaya decorative technique of Kutani ware in 1890. In 1922 he received Imperial patronage. He was named one of the first living National Treasures in 1953 (and his grandson, Yasokichi III would also be named such).
