Camellia Katakuchi Sake Carafe
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
Featuring the distinctive nami-yu glaze, made from the ashes of the Kyoto forest, this Katakuchi Sake carafe embodies a natural clay color in creamy-white. With leaves merging dark and light green shades, the camellia beautifully balances the white and red dyed petals. These petals stand out with a unique, raised, and glossy finish, contrasting with the watercolor-like backdrop of the leaves.
Each camellia design is hand-painted by individual Japanese-style painters from Tosen Kiln. These artisans, with a profound background in Japanese-style painting, offer more than mere decoration.
The carafe's handle, crafted from a branch, presents a harmonious contrast between the smooth stoneware and the rustic wood texture. Holding the carafe, one is immediately drawn to the elegance of the camellia design. Every rotation of the carafe unveils the intricacy and grace of the design, making each pour a moment of artful experience.

Maker / Brand
Tosen Kiln was founded in 1868 as a Kiyomizu ware wholesaler. In 1944, it established a production studio in Mukomachi, a suburb of Kyoto, marking the beginning of full-scale Kiyomizu ware production. Today, the kiln operates in Gojo, Kyoto, continuing its legacy of craftsmanship.
Dedicated to refining its techniques and artistic sensibilities, Tosen Kiln embraces Kyoto’s traditional craftsmanship while adapting it for the modern era. Drawing inspiration from Edo-period master potter Nonomura Ninsei, it preserves his precise lathing techniques and luminous painting styles, blending them with clean lines and warm tones to create pieces that resonate with contemporary aesthetics.
