Subject:Two Eiraku sake bottles
Posted By: Stirner Fri, Aug 14, 2015 IP: 31.41.105.204

Hi guys.
I got these sake bottles from Japan.
This is real Eiraku ware or copy? Thanks

These are similar to one shown in my 1997 value guide by Sandra Andacht as Eiraku and dated circa 1900. However, that one had silver cladding on the rims, and the marks were not shown. I'm unsure whether they are still being made, though many classic Japanese sake wares were reproduced after World War II. Eiraku collectors can take it from here.

Best regards,

Bill H.
