Thank you for viewing. This is a black, slender vase, with a box. Inside the box, there was a flyer, or something similar, for Takaoka copperware art and craft items. The item on the left in the second photo is the vase's base (like lacquerware?). It has not been opened from the paper. This item is from the belongings of my grandfather. I am completely unfamiliar with it, so I recommend that those who can judge from the images purchase it. It has been stored at home for many years, over several decades. The box has some stains. Please understand that the colors and textures may not be accurately represented depending on your device. This item is a long-term home storage item and is old, so please purchase it only if you are interested in and understand vintage and antiques. Regarding shipping, I plan to ship it with cushioning material in a cardboard box. Thank you.
