This jug comes from my mother's estate and was part of a large, carefully curated collection. She was an avid collector, and I am doing my best to honor her memory by finding good homes for the items she loved.

I am not an expert in Japanese porcelain. I use AI assistance to help describe each item as accurately as possible. Please use the photos as your primary guide to condition. I make every effort to provide clear, detailed images so you can evaluate each item for yourself.

My mother had a lifelong passion for learning. She earned two master's degrees, spent many years at San Diego State University (SDSU) where she retired, and took great pride in building her library and home collection. She was meticulous, enthusiastic, and genuinely loved collecting beautiful objects.

I hope this Nippon whiskey jug finds a place in a collection where it will be appreciated.
