Metallic Blue & Gray Enamel Slim Bud Vase - Handmade in Japan - $500 (san jose downtown)

The price is $500. This price is firm and non-negotiable. Please don't ask for a discount or make an offer. I have a slim bud-type vase with a beautiful mottled vivid iridescent metallic blue and dark gray color with gold flower and bamboo accents. The color that you see on the vase actually depends on the type and angle of light shining on it. Mostly, it appears like a light lapis blue, but it can also appear like dark blue teal with certain types of fluorescent lighting. Overall, it's very opalescent, shimmering, and lustrous to the view. This was purchased by me at Fuji-Torii Antique Shop in Tokyo several years ago for more than a $1,000. I was told that it was handmade in Japan, and it is a molded metallic interior construction with several dozen coats of iridescent metallic paint and enamel to give it a vivid shine. The vase is about 9.5” tall, 2.5” diameter at the base, and 0.75” diameter at the neck. Since the vase neck is very slim, it can only accommodate a single flower (or no more than a few). The vase is in mint condition with no surface problems. I have the original cardboard packaging provided by Fuji-Torii. You can pick up from my house near the San Jose Airport. Or I would be happy to deliver it to you, if I happen to travel out in your direction.
