It measures 8.5 cm in diameter and 26 cm in height. Named for its slender neck resembling a crane's head and neck, this is a Crane Neck Vase. The vase features a gradient of red, orange, and silver meticulously painted to depict Japan's iconic Mount Fuji. The rare "Red Fuji" symbolizes good fortune and the fulfillment of wishes! Adjacent to the Red Fuji, layered mountain ranges and swirling clouds are vividly rendered in gold and silver. This piece is elegantly simple yet dignified, imbued with a strong Japanese essence and symbolizing good luck. It is perfectly suited for display in a living room, kitchen, ancestral hall, or as a congratulatory gift! Note: On certain lucky late summer or early autumn days, one can witness the "Red Fuji" as the mountain peaks are bathed in the morning sun! As it is exceptionally rare, occurring only a few days a year, sighting it is considered a symbol of good fortune and the fulfillment of wishes! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54238372837_1ee2b44ae5_w.jpg ※ Comes with a gift box and a stand. ※ Vase Dimensions: Diameter 8.5cm × Height 26cm ※ All works are handcrafted by artisans.
