I believe this is a bamboo tea utensil or a flower vase (though I'm not certain). It could also be considered a Japanese-style objet d'art. The previous owner kept this at home along with other tea utensils. I'm not sure if it was used, but there are some stains on the underside. Size: Bottom length approximately 85cm, bottom width approximately 8.5cm, Maximum height approximately 22cm Thank you for looking.
