Although this is metal, it has patina that cleans up like plated sterling silver. I’ve done a good bit of cleaning because of the patina I found, but left a lot too for the sake of character. Could be shined up a bit more if you preferred. I kept an arrangement of artificial flowers in this.. 14.75” tall x 4.25” base x 6” across the top. Measurements are approximate. Made in India. From my personal collection. ** Coordinating ginger jar and decorative tray sold / listed separately. (See pics #5 and #6.)
