Description

this is a 14th century ming dynasty vase that was passed down in generations to my family.  There is only one flaw on this item and it is a hole that is in the bottom of the vase. It is in perfect condition other wise. It is still displayable and no one would notice the flaw unless they were to pick it up and look at it.

History
This item was passed to my family after a relative passed away. An uncle from the late 1800's was once offered money for the vase to be placed in a museum, but he wouldn't sell because he was a sentimentalist. The vase was in the current condition that it is now when the museum wanted to buy it back in the 1990's.
