Re: Large vase - Gold Accents
You have a Satsuma temple vase. I don't believe it is antique, nor is it brand new.
CRANE - An emblem of longevity and superhuman wisdom. Cranes are the flying steeds of the immortals, their other celestial locomotion being clouds. The crane is also believed to carry the souls of the dead to the Western Heaven. Cranes flying into the sky symbolize a rise in status.
