I received this from an antique shop that creates original pieces, apparently after winning a bid at an antique auction first thing in the morning. The owner apparently breaks the antiques himself, changing the way they're broken depending on what they'll be used for. When I said I was going to keep medaka fish, he broke it as shown in the image, and made it into an original piece for me. It has a considerable weight and presence. The way it was broken is also unique, making it one-of-a-kind, and I think it's an antique overflowing with a sense of the past (^O^). I think it would be lovely to place it in your garden or outside a shop, as it gives off an antique vibe. I don't have any knowledge of antiques, so please judge the condition based on the images. I will answer to the best of my ability if you leave a comment. I would also appreciate it if you could take a look at my profile (^O^). Please understand that this has been stored by an amateur, so please look at the images and only purchase if you understand. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection, are overly concerned with details, or are nitpicky. I will also be listing this elsewhere, and will delete the listing if it sells. Also, I do not accept cancellations, complaints, returns, or refunds after purchase.
