This item was at my parents' house. My father loved collecting these, but I've decided to sell them. They've been stored in a box as part of a collection for a long time. It's beautiful overall, and the inside and bottom feature a nashiji (pear skin) finish, making it a wonderful piece. The gradation from gold to black from the bottom to the top is very beautiful. The protective agent has been removed for photography. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and other cushioning materials for shipping. Size: Height: Approximately 7.5cm Diameter: Approximately 7cm Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. I plan to list several other craft items as well.
