This is a vermilion lacquered flower vase. It is a flower vase made by layering lacquer in a mold and finishing it with vermilion lacquer. It seems that the underlying lacquer will appear over time, giving it a nice look. The water container is made of copper, and the power of copper ions will help the flowers last longer. This is at my mother's request. It is unused, but there may be some marks from storage. She says she bought it about 20 years ago. If you can accept this, or if you are looking for one, how about it? There is no box. 24.5cm X 17.0cm Opening diameter 3.0cm
