This is a replica of a flower vase favored by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a shaku-tate (ladle stand) made by the 10th generation Nagoshi Yagoro Masaharu, a master kama (iron kettle) craftsman of Japan. While it can also be used as a flower vase, the maker likely intended it as a shaku-tate due to the length of the neck. It is said to be from around the transition period between the Edo and Meiji eras. It is 18.4 cm tall and weighs 695g. There is one small chip on the top. The box is missing.
