This is a ceramic vessel with ivy wrapped around it, creating a handle-like style. While its original purpose was likely as a flower vase, it can also be used as a small item container or for a Japanese-style display. The vessel has a stopper. As it is a long-term storage item, I have not tested whether it comes off. As natural materials are used, the shape of the ivy is as it is naturally. Please take a look at the photos and consider. Height to the ivy: Approximately 26cm Width: Approximately 21cm Vessel height: Approximately 8cm Vessel diameter: Approximately 16cm Please consider this item if you understand that it is a long-term storage and used item. Thank you for looking.
