Vintage 1962 Inarco CLEVELAND OHIO ceramic flower vase/candle holder E-815 For Sale

This is a 1962 Inarco (InternationalArt Ware Corporation) Cleveland Ohio flower vase/candleholder shaped like a traditional Japanese oxcart. This piece is marked E – 815. The design influence replicates a traditional Japanese cart, typically used for classical flower arranging or sometimes as a candle holder or decorative incense burner. Inarco was founded by Irwin Garber. This particular piece was cast in replica in ceramic, and applied with a dark matte, metallic bronze, glazed finish, which mimics the patina of weathered metal. In Arco was later purchased by NAPCO in 1986 and moved to Jacksonville Florida. Some wear around the ceramic rim and a few scrapes on broader rim. (please see pictures)
