Vintage Footed Deep Bowl with Fortune Motifs - Lucky Net Pattern, Gold Pomegranate and Bat Symbols - Chinese & Japanese Prosperity Decor

This exquisite vintage footed deep bowl is adorned with an intricate net pattern, a traditional symbol of prosperity in both China and Japan, believed to "catch" good fortune. The interior features elegant gold illustrations of a pomegranate—representing fertility and family prosperity—and a bat, a revered symbol of happiness in Chinese culture due to its resemblance to the character for "good fortune."

Historically, such bowls may have been used to hold leftover sake at celebratory gatherings, such as weddings, where guests had offered their drinks in honor of the occasion.

Today, this versatile piece can be used as an artistic fruit bowl, a unique vessel for floating flowers, or even as an elegant display for a small goldfish. Whether as a collector’s item or a functional decor piece, it brings a touch of cultural richness and timeless elegance to any space.

As our products are shipped from Japan they may be subject to taxes and to customs fees in the country of delivery. These costs are the customer’s responsibility.

For our customers in the USA:
Most packages with a declared value that is under $2000 USD will be cleared without any fees. (http://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/internet-purchases)

For our customers in Australia:
Orders below $1000 AUD are regarded as 'low-value imports' by Australian customs. As of 01 July 2018, customs duties may apply to any goods imported from overseas by consumers in Australia. For more information please visit the Australian customs website (http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Impo/Buyi).

For our customers in Canada:
Orders above $20 CAN require that you pay the applicable duties and the GST. For more information please visit the Canadian customs website (http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/postal-postale/dtytx-drttx-eng.html).

For our customers in the EU:
From 1 July 2021, import VAT is payable on all goods entering the EU, irrespective of their value. For goods with a value of more than €150, you will have to pay Customs Duty in addition to import VAT. The customs value on which Customs Duty is calculated is the cost of the goods plus transport (including postage), any insurance, and any handling charges to deliver the goods to the EU. The rate of Customs Duty that applies depends on the goods you import.


We understand that custom fees are worrying for some of you. We hope that you are reassured by the fact that, when buying on SOMOC, you really are ordering direct from Japan- getting authentic and original Japanese items that are not easily found anywhere else.

EMS (JP Post shipped, delivered by your National Post) generally charges the required sum at delivery.
