Chinese Antique Carved Soapstone Covered Vessel

Description

Imagine this cool heavy covered gourd shaped vessel sitting on a table next to your sofa where guests sit and relax. How could they resist asking you what it is? Well it's a surprise inside where you find a carved Chinese God watching over you. Complete with dirt and dust which I'm not inclined to clean. Gift worthy indeed
