I am considering selling the antiques I have collected since I was young, as there is no one to pass them on to. I hope that people with the same hobby will purchase them. This item has a very stylish silver handle and gold leaf accents on the rim, making it a piece that is enjoyable to look at even without flowers. I have taken up an entire eight-tatami-mat Japanese-style room just for vases. I am selling them at a low price as I am decluttering, but the shipping costs are a limiting factor, so I have set the price at the lowest possible point. Thank you for your understanding. Although it is a used item and shows signs of wear, it is in beautiful condition as shown in the photos. I have seen similar items sold at high prices on various websites, so please feel free to contact me if you are interested. As always, we do not accept cancellations after purchase, so please understand. Price negotiations are welcome, so please feel free to contact me.
