This is a polar bear vase by the artist Okazu. It's very cute and I've been keeping it in my cupboard. It has not been used with water. As shown in the photos, there appears to be some slight discoloration from the beginning in the flower-arranging area and around the left shoulder, but I purchased it as an authentic item. Please note that the dried flowers are not included. The flowers may be damaged during shipping, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this.
