A solid bronze construction with copper detailing forms the base for the antique japanese sake warmer, a kandoko-style brazier sized for small kettles and sake flasks. Measuring approximately 14.7 cm high, 32.5 cm wide and 20.3 cm deep, this vintage metal craft piece includes an adjustable trivet and side compartments for hot water to maintain gentle heat. At about 2,400 g it requires a separate hibachi or ash bed to hold charcoal or ash. The surface shows age-appropriate discoloration, minor scratches and soiling while remaining fully functional for collectors, specialty shops, or practical use as a traditional tea warmer today.

Product details

Crafted in traditional bronze metalwork, the kandoko vessel is a compact sake heater stand suited for warming small kettles and sake flasks. The adjustable trivet lets you center different-diameter artisan kettle bases, while the shallow side compartments hold hot water to keep sake warm without direct flame contact. As an example of antique copperware craftsmanship, the piece reads as both a functional heater and a decorative collectible metal heater for Japanese metal decor displays.


Use and compatibility

This piece is intended to sit on the ash bed of a large hibachi or inside a compatible portable hibachi; it does not include a fuel base, ash container, or charcoal. Because it requires a separate base, match the brazier’s footprint to your hibachi or stove before use. Suitable for collectors, museum-style displays, specialty shops, or practical use in traditional tea or sake service when paired with proper heat sources and safety precautions.


Care, handling, and shipping

We remove surface dirt prior to packing and wrap the item to protect the bronze finish and the adjustable trivet during transit. As a heavy metal object, it is shipped with ample cushioning; please allow additional packing time. Do not use abrasive cleaners that would remove the aged patina; gentle wiping with a soft cloth is recommended for routine care.
