This handcrafted container is elevated, heavy and tall and can be used with heavier material. The coloring is also subtle and complements any other color, mass or texture used. It was found in a local estate sale and its adaptability and size. We have found and enjoyed many ikebana containers while in Japan and in our travels throughout the mainland and return to the Islands. They are displayed at home, used for demonstrations and presented at exhibitions. The first three pictures and last picture were taken against a black felt background and the other pictures were taken in camera tent. The empty Asahi bottle is not for sale, but to illustrate the relative size of the container. Will answer all questions promptly. Will securely package, properly label and ship by USPS Ground Advantage with insurance and tracking provided.
