The exterior showcases undulating fabric-like folds beneath a fluted, gathered rim, cinched by a braided textile cord complete with turned wooden baubles and fringed tassels. On the face, the Chinese character for good fortune (Bok \/ Fu) is prominently carved in relief against a natural banded grain highlight that contrasts elegantly with the deep walnut finish. The reverse of the vessel features an authentic hand-inscribed presentation in Korean calligraphy commemorating an official unit visit on March 25, 1988, presented by Colonel Son Tae-jin, Provost Marshal of the Republic of Korea First Field Army Command. Fitted with a protective red felt base, this sculpture serves equally well as a standalone tabletop artifact, brush pot, or dry floral vessel for collectors of East Asian folk art and military history. This piece measures approximately 7.5 inches tall, 7.5 inches wide, and 7 inches deep, weighing approximately 2.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patina \u0026 Prose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48971288674461,"sku":"PP-060325-02","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4923\/2285\/files\/vintage-korean-carved-wood-fortune-pouch-vase-1988-military-presentation_01.jpg?v=1792201300","url":"https:\/\/patinaandprose.com\/products\/vintage-korean-carved-wood-fortune-pouch-vase-1988-military-presentation","provider":"Patina \u0026 Prose","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
