This is a hanging flower vase. I purchased it as an antique. The age is unknown. Looking at the exposed clay on the bottom, it seems to have aged, so I believe it's reasonably old. I also suspect it might be Karatsu ware. I apologize for the frequent use of "I think." Please examine the photos carefully and make your own judgment. If you have any questions or need additional photos, please comment. Thank you. Size: Height: Approximately 10cm Base: Approximately 5cm Mouth: Approximately 5.5cm Width (maximum): Approximately 8.5cm This is a used item (antique) stored by a private individual. Please refrain from purchasing if you are seeking perfection or are overly concerned about condition. Dimensions and condition are based on amateur measurements and subjective assessment, so please understand. Type of pottery: Karatsu ware?
