This is a Hagi-yaki vase (Shofuan, Tesshin) I received from an acquaintance over 40 years ago. I have never used it and have kept it indoors. I don't see any changes to the vase itself due to aging? (Sorry, I'm just a layman) The wooden box clearly shows signs of dirt and discoloration. (The images are everything) Approximate size (mm): "Vase" → Height 250, Diameter 250 "Wooden Box" → Height 310 x Width 315 x Depth 315 (almost a perfect square) *Regarding shipping, I will use bubble wrap (large size) and other packing materials as much as possible, including the cushioning material in the wooden box.
