This is an artistic Japanese vase decorated with the auspicious Takarazukushi (Treasure Motif) design. On the upper left and right sides, the faces of two of the Seven Lucky Gods — Ebisu and Daikokuten — are finely carved in relief. Their presence enhances the symbolic meaning of prosperity, wealth, and good fortune, making this vase an exceptionally rare and auspicious piece. On the front, the Chinese characters 「合併記念」 (Gappei Kinen) are engraved, meaning “Commemorative of a Merger,” indicating that this vase was created to celebrate a significant historical or organizational union. Overall, the carvings show no major damage, and the intricate details remain clearly visible. Although there are signs of age such as surface wear, minor scratches, and patina, the condition is remarkably good for a vase estimated to be approximately 100–150 years old.
