Sake Set (Tokkuri and Ochoko)

This item is a sake set, featuring one tokkuri (sake flask) and two ochoko (sake cups), all made of white ceramic. The tokkuri has a classic pear-shaped body with a narrow neck and a flared spout. Both the tokkuri and the ochoko are adorned with a blue transferware design and gold trim along their rims. The blue design on the tokkuri includes what appears to be Japanese characters vertically arranged on one side and a circular crest or emblem on another. The ochoko cups feature a similar circular blue emblem, possibly an abstract or stylized symbol, which is repeated in a pattern. The gold trim shows some minor wear, which is typical for items of this nature that have been handled or used. The ceramic appears to be glazed, giving it a smooth, glossy finish. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant repair marks visible in the image, suggesting the set is in good overall condition. The design suggests a traditional Japanese aesthetic, likely produced in the mid to late 20th century. The quality of craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, suitable for everyday use rather than high-end decorative display, indicated by the uniformity of the shapes and the clear transferware application. The characters observed on the tokkuri could potentially indicate a brand name or type of sake.
