ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Beautiful well cared for base with inlay mother of pearl / abalone.
The box features a two headed tortoise with a rabbit riding on his back.  If it is the tale of the tortoise and the hare I would assume he will jump off just before they get to the finishline.
The vase measures 9.5" tall x 6.5" wide at its widest.

I do not declare merchandise as gifts for international sales and I don't put a lesser value on the customs form.  Please don't ask.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS HANDLING FEE:  I also charge a handling fee for International shipments to help defray the cost of insurance (included in the shipping price you see for your area).  Again, I thought you should know.
