    Found this interesting item at a thrift store but have no idea what it is.
    Have only found one similar image on the Internet and they referred to it as a sake jug.

    What is it and how was it used?

    Thx

      Yes a sake jug. Shops would sell sake despenced into customer provided containers (like growler beer sales).

      Thx TA!

      One more question… Trying to determine the vintage of this cask. Is this a practice that is currently done. Done back in the 60s? Done 30s 40s?

      I think up to the 40's then they tended to use wooden casks and Western bottling became the norm.
