I am selling this item as part of a household goods clearance. It is boat-shaped, and the handles are made of a vine-like material that is hard. The purpose for which it was made is unknown, but there is a feature in the center of the boat that looks like it could hold a cigarette, so perhaps it's an ashtray? I think it could also be used as a flower vase. It is quite old, and the box is a paper box with no exterior writing. There are no noticeable scratches, and the item itself is in good condition.
