Background Info and Provenance
(Written in 2024)
A LIME-GREEN vintage bark vase by Japanese maker, Tajima. These are similar to the iconic Whitefriars pieces that were released around the same time. As shown in the photos, when this piece is displayed with a collection of other textured glass pieces, the effect is inspiring. I love this particular one- it has a “refreshing spring rain” feel to it. These textured pieces are captivating with the way light shines off the glass- they seem to just gleam, even when not in direct light.
These Japanese vases rarely come up anymore and values have increased noticeably over the last 10 years. They’re a main-stay in vintage glass and after being sought-after for so long, the investment appeal is assured. There’s no better way I can think of to invest in your home and in the future of our environment.
Anything else shown in the group photo is NOT included but available separately through iNVISeDGE. This listing price is for the lime-green piece only that has been photographed on its own.

It may have some very minor signs of use- it’s about 50 years old but there's nothing at all that warrants a mention. This piece has a height of 19cm and width of about 7cm at its widest. Weight- 501 grams. Read my 1200+ ebay feedback comments (ALL for vintage furniture/decorative arts SALES- more than 100 are from repeat customers).

PICK-UP . . . near BRISBANE city is available. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE is offered internationally. All our Decorative Arts pieces are delivered through AUSTRALIA POST. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE ESTIMATES. . . . ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To BRISBANE- most of our pieces cost $15 - $18 to send. . . To SYDNEY or MELBOURNE- Small Vase- around $20 - $23, Medium Vase- around $22 - $25, Large Vase- around $25 - $32. Let us know if you need an EXACT COST for postage prior to purchase. The above postage estimates include $2.95 for a signature on delivery. . . INSURANCE against being lost or broken in transit up to the value of $200 is included in the estimates above. If your vase is cheaper or more expensive than $200 this will effect your postage fee slightly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A BOXING FEE of $3.00 is included in the fee above to cover the cost of searching for and storing used packing materials. With the millions of cardboard boxes that end up as landfill every year we don’t believe in supporting the manufacture of boxes for post. Instead of buying new boxes and packing materials and passing this cost onto our customers we spend considerable time sourcing used boxes and then fashioning boxes to fit each item. We do the same for bubble-wrap and foam pieces. This requires a large investment of time, energy, ingenuity, organization and storage space- it is much easier and cheaper to buy new packing materials but I can’t justify taking the easy way out when so much packing material ends up polluting our earth. Our $3.00 charge does little to pay for the time (and storage) needed do this and to pack your item (there is also the time needed to get your package to the post office). This is something we’re happy to do for our customers and the environment. We appreciate your support in this area.
