 This sake bottle with a four-sided mouth and rounded base is a copy of a warming pot with an arched hand. The inside is fully covered with iron glaze, and the body is thinly decorated on two sides with the so-called “Tatsuta-gawa” design of autumn leaves sprinkled on running water, which is glazed with a thick, yellowish, piercing glaze that melts glossily. The bottom of the bowl is marked “Gobosatsu” in clay.
