A characterful 19th century Japanese sake bottle (tokkuri), featuring expressive hand-painted calligraphy in iron oxide tones.
The form is simple and traditional, allowing the bold brushwork to take centre stage. The glaze transitions from a soft pale tone to a warm, earthy base, adding depth and texture to the piece.
These were originally used for serving sake, but now work beautifully as decorative objects or as a sculptural vase.
A piece with real presence. The kind of object that adds instant interest to a shelf or table.
Good condition with age-related wear consistent with use.
A beautifully textured vintage serving board combining solid wood with a central marble insert.
The contrast between the warm wood tones and the natural veining of the marble gives it a timeless, rustic feel. The beaded edge detail adds a subtle decorative finish.
Perfect for serving cheese, bread, or as a styling piece on a kitchen counter or table.
A practical piece with plenty of character.
A large vintage papier-mâché storage box with a rich, worn red finish and handwritten Japanese script across the surface. The markings give it a layered, almost archival feel, like something that’s been used, moved and repurposed over time.
The texture has a subtle woven quality in places, with what appears to be a bamboo or reed structure beneath, keeping it lightweight but sturdy.
Full of character and completely individual, this is the kind of piece that works just as well for storage as it does purely on display. It brings a depth and history that newer pieces just don’t have.

A bold, hand-carved wooden mask with exaggerated features and a striking, almost surreal expression. The puffed cheeks, wide yellow eyes and high-gloss red finish give it a real presence. It’s the kind of piece that stops people for a second.
There’s something slightly unsettling about it, but that’s exactly the appeal. It feels theatrical, almost like a character frozen mid-expression.
Not for a neutral space. This is for someone who leans into unusual pieces and wants something with personality.

Beautifully timeworn antique wooden harvest basket with bentwood handle and primitive wire-bound construction. Rich in texture and character, this piece has a wonderfully organic feel with aged timber, hand formed metal bindings, and a softly weathered patina throughout.
Originally used for gathering and carrying produce, it now makes a striking decorative object styled beside a hearth, filled with dried flowers, blankets, kindling, or for rustic kitchen storage.
A piece that feels quietly sculptural in its simplicity. The imperfect shaping, old repairs, and hand-worked details are exactly what give it its charm and authenticity.
Wear and age consistent with its utilitarian past.

Originally created as a working hunting decoy, it now carries a sculptural quality that feels equally at home in both traditional and modern spaces. Wear, paint loss, and imperfections consistent with age add to its authenticity and charm.
