Funny you might ask if there is anything you might help me with, as I was just letting someone know their listing was incomplete. I see metal usubata type ikebana vases listed several times a month without the flat, rimmed, detachable, plate-like upper-section. They rather look like any old vases without the detachable, section; in most cases I'm sure the sellers have no idea that it was meant to be an ikebana vase. The bit that allows for the making of an arraignment, the "flower frog"(they look like a circle filled with pins) and water used in making the arraignments were placed in the missing section.
