Meiji 2024 Period Pure Silver Tokkuri, Koedo

*MANY SHIPPING LIMITATIONS AND SUSPENSIONS CURRENTLY IN PLACE, PLEASE SCROLL TO THE END OF THIS LISTING TO SEE WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE.

This listing is for a pair of antique hammered silver tokkuri dating back to the Meiji Period (1868-1912). Tokkuri are jugs for serving sake and they're usually a part of a set. Both jugs are marked ‘jungin' on the bottom which translates as pure silver. Silver with the jungin mark means that the silver content is around 95%, that is a fineness above sterling silver which has to be a minimum of 92.5%. In this case a small amount of copper has been added to make the jugs more durable. The addition of copper makes the surface more prone to tarnishing, however these jugs have been stored well and have only small amounts of patina considering their age. *SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS LISTING FOR SHIPPING SUSPENSIONS AND/OR AVAILABLE OPTIONS. *CLICK ‘Learn more about this item' FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

H.9.6cm (3.7”) x 6.3cm (2.4”) across including the handle x 3.2cm (1.2”) diameter
