Pierced Brass Baluster Vase with Artificial Floral Arrangement

This item is a decorative pierced brass vase in a baluster or amphora shape, housing an artificial floral arrangement. The vase is constructed of polished yet aged brass, characterized by intricate openwork or reticulated patterns throughout the body and neck, allowing light and air to pass through. It features a flared rim, a tapering neck with geometric cutouts, a bulbous central body with drop-shaped scrollwork piercing, and a stepped square or octagonal base for stability. The golden-brown patina suggests an aged brass finish, likely produced in the late 20th century, possibly of Indian or Middle Eastern origin where such metalwork is traditional. The vase appears to be in good condition with no visible dents or structural damage, though it shows moderate surface oxidation and dust accumulation consistent with household display. It stands as a medium-sized decorative accent, roughly 10-12 inches in height excluding the foliage. Contained within is a dense silk or plastic floral arrangement featuring small, burgundy-red flowers and long, needle-like green blades of faux grass. The quality is indicative of mass-market decorative arts commonly found in interior design from the 1990s or early 2000s.
