Stored in a long-term storage closet. It has not been used as a vase. It was stored without a box. There is some soiling. The artist is unknown. I don't know much about it, so I don't know what kind of pottery it is. Please understand that there may be some errors due to amateur measurements. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. It will be carefully packed horizontally with recycled packing materials for shipping.
