Risubudou flower vase

This flower vase is shaped like a vegetable turnip.
The shape is solid and stable, and is well-balanced when flowers are arranged. 

Maki-e is a design of a squirrel and grapes.
Grapes have a meaning of fertility because they bear a lot of fruits, and also have a meaning of prosperity because they extend their stems forever.
The combination of grapes and squirrels is a design favored by samurai society for its auspicious way of reading "Budou ni Risu (Grape and Squirrel)".
