An unusual Arita wall-vase, kakehana, circa 1750. The seed-shaped hollow body is moulded with trailing vines supporting a dragonfly.

In 52 years of business I have found only two of these unusual vases, this one I kept for my collection.
Approximately 16.7cm long. Perfect condition with only a little w...
