Although small in size, one can appreciate the detailed and elegant patterns of the Old Imari style crafted on this white sake cooler.

It is perfect for chilling sake bottle as small as 360 ml (12.2 oz), and a half size of wine would be just right. It also makes wonderful interior decor when placed on a shelf or mantelpiece.

The deep blue color comes from the signature painting technique seen on Old Imari pieces called sometsuke, or blue and white designs.

The patterns of chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms, pine, bamboo, and plum are gorgeous, and the gold lines accentuate the design.
