IKEBANA lotus flower & dragonfly ceramic vase with pin frog for flower arranging

vintage flower holder, featuring a floral design with a dragonfly embellishment. It has a central opening with a pin frog insert for arranging flowers. The flower holder exhibits a darkened patina, suggesting its age and material. The overall design and the presence of the pin frog indicate its use in floral arrangements, particularly in styles like Ikebana, where precise placement and support of stems are crucial. The item could also function as a candle holder, given its shape and the central opening. Good used vintage condition with a few chips on underside. Feels like ceramic. Please keep in mind that when buying Vintage items you are purchasing something that is pre-loved.  Most Vintage items show signs of wear, but that is also what makes them so unique. I do my best to photograph/explain the condition of the item as best I can. Please keep in mind that Vintage items are at least 20 years old.  If you have any questions about a particular item please contact me. Colours may vary due to lighting and other conditions.
