It's likely made of wild grapes, bamboo, or possibly both, but the exact materials are unknown. However, it's incredibly sturdy, you can tell just by holding it, and it's exceptionally durable. It seems like it could hold a considerable amount of weight without a problem. Similar items can still be found on the market, but those with such meticulously crafted handles are very rare. I believe this is a unique piece, made with great care and of high rarity. Purchased over 50 years ago, the exact purchase price is unknown, but I understand it was quite expensive at the time. As an antique item, there are signs of wear and minor scratches due to age, but the construction is very precise and the condition is good, making it perfectly usable even now. It's recommended not only as a flower vase, but also for display, as a shop fixture, or as interior decor. Please check the photos for the condition. We kindly request that those who understand antique items and old tools purchase this item. It is also listed on other sites, so please let us know before purchasing.
