This vase is approximately 7-1/4" tall. I don't know what it is made of. It looks like marble or onyx, but I believe it is cast and not carved. It may even be a heavy polyresin. The front has some damage and scuffed areas, and the trim on the right side is damaged as well. There is also some scuffing around the rim. I believe it is cast because of the "unfinished" look in the center of the bottom. The initials AK have also been carved into it.
