Overall an organic unique creative personal work of art which tells a story of personal and nature. resilience, humanity and adversity faced during the wartime. A repurposed item that provides functional and practical uses as a flower vase or umbrella stand. A magnification decorative art piece which can start a conversation. The vase is in condition with no dents or holes. Minor marks, wear, patina on the body and base consistent with its age and usage.
