Features a round and oblong body with the overall shape tapering slightly at the top and at the bottom. The stool top features a pierced medallion with seven (7) long diamond shaped piercings with two (2) squares or diamond piercings. This is accented by hand painted wildflowers on a creamy off white background and scrolling floral designs on a cinnabar or oxblood background.

The sides of the garden stool feature the same hand painted wildflowers as depicted on the top. Alternating between the flowers are piercings in a balanced pattern, surrounded by additional flowers and scrollwork in the cinnabar background.

The top and bottom edges feature a white background, again with flowers and an aqua/turquoise band hi-lighted with matching ceramic cabochons.

This stool or table can be used in any setting. I used it as a side table in my office.
