This handsome pony is a fabulous piece with its unique shape and coloring. More often than not, this type of earthenware plant stand or garden stool is represented by an elephant-shape. He's looking for a new place to hang out, your home perhaps? Kept indoors all his life, this cutie will continue to look as great as he does today if kept indoors or, if placing outdoors, keeping him out of the out of the elements on a covered patio, entryway or screened in porch. The fabulous creamy linen hue contrasts nicely with the subtle off-white undertones. On the platform top you will find incised Chinese butterfly characters at each corner. The butterfly is a symbol of joy and summer. It also implies long life, beauty and elegance. Pairs of butterflies are symbolic of an undying bond between lovers. In the center you’ll find an incised double circle floral border of lotus flowers and a center orchid. Orchids are a symbol of refinement and elegance, representing the embodiment of human virtue. The lotus is a symbol of purity. This cutie measures 15½” x 18½” x 8¼” H/W/D; platform 6¾” x 5¾” W/D; weight approximately 20 lbs.; handcrafted from moulded earthenware. Handcrafted in Vietnam by an unknown artisan (stenciled makers initial on the underside) sometime in the 1980s. In excellent condition; glazed finish is nicely preserved, minimal crazing and wear as a whole.

As an eclectic plant stand or petite side table, in or out of doors, this cutie will complement most any décor style, impeccably!
