It features a striking contrast between the rugged, natural live-edge tree bark in the center and the smooth, beautifully finished top and bottom. While it was likely originally designed as a \"Chazutsu\" (tea caddy), it is now missing its lid. However, this creates a wide opening that makes it absolutely perfect for use as a rustic flower vase, a brutalist pen\/pencil holder for a desk, or a stand-alone mid-century Wabi-Sabi interior decor piece. The bottom bears a charming hand-carved inscription: \"Odo Black Nikko 1969.9.29,\" making it a truly one-of-a-kind historical souvenir.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eSize and Weight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"KsbFXc U6u95\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApprox. 5\" (12.7 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApprox. 5.5\" (14.0 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApprox. 8.5 oz (241 g)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural Solid Wood (Hand-turned from high-quality Japanese native timber with prominent ring grains and natural outer bark).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"KsbFXc U6u95\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eLid:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMissing lid (Sold as a vase\/holder or decorative object).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eOverall:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVery good vintage condition considering its age from 1969.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eBark\/Texture:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMinor natural shedding or rough spots on the bark are part of its organic design and rustic character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eWear:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMild signs of vintage wear, superficial scuffs, and natural wood aging present on the interior and base.
