Green Ceramic Vase lamps-and-lanterns Originally used as a hatThese little vases are in a crackled green glaze and are similar to storage jars traditionally used throughout China. Each vase includes the red wax seal that is stamped when they are cleared for export in China. We leave the seals on as they can make an interesting addition to each piece, but they can be easily removed. Note that each vase is individual and so may vary slightly from the example shown here.
