The piece features a crisp white high-gloss glaze, beautifully accented by vibrant lemon-yellow "buttons" and a charming twisted rope festoon border that drapes elegantly around the base. Drawing inspiration from the playful yet sophisticated Palm Beach and Hollywood Regency aesthetics of the mid-20th century, this versatile piece functions as a sculptural plinth for a prized bust, a unique riser for a tabletop vignette, or a standalone conversational element on a mantle or sideboard.


Measuring 15” round and 15” tall, this artisanal ceramic piece is a definitive find for the collector of eccentric and high-design pottery.
