Welcome to my closet 😊 Thank you for visiting! In good condition with slight signs of age. Please examine photos closely. There are some minor chips around the base of the stone. It's very hard to see as the carving is intricate. The shoushan stone has a long history in China and has been used for hundreds of years to carve many Chinese items. This is small for a vase and I believe it was a brush pot. The detailed carving is to be viewed from the front as the back is smooth and not carved.
