Rustic Duck Sake Flask Embracing Wabi Sabi Aesthetics - Unique Bar Decor

For those who seek the essence of true wabi-sabi, this vintage carafe is a rare and intriguing find. Originally crafted as a tokkuri (sake bottle) in the shape of a duck, this piece reflects the enduring beauty of imperfection and the evolving nature of functional art.

Tokkuri of this unique form was traditionally made in Toyama Prefecture during the Edo period and later reproduced in various kilns. However, this particular piece is crafted from lightweight metal, possibly aluminum, with a glazed interior for liquid resistance. The exterior remains unfinished, intended for future coloration—a testament to its evolving artistry.

A natural patina and signs of wear, including a visible flaw on the back, enhance its antique charm and historical depth. While it was once a sake vessel, it can now be repurposed as a wabi-sabi-inspired vase, holding a single bloom to complement its quiet, organic elegance.

Embrace the Japanese philosophy of imperfection and adaptability by adding this one-of-a-kind duck-shaped vintage carafe to your curated collection.

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.
