Collectors across the globe have coveted these chinoiserie garden stools for decades. This one in particular is unique as it features a pattern we've not seen before. The elephant is glazed in a rich blue and wears a tapestry with a mint, cream, and yellow pattern. Faux tassels hang from the tapestry edges in a creamy yellow. The elephant stands upon a rich emerald green glazed base. Around the edges of the base is a border with a squiggly pattern in rich blue, with sky-blue circles and glazed semi-circles in yellow. The elephant has its trunk down and wears a traditional elephant garland on his head. The top of the piece is flat and square and perfect for displaying a plant or lamp. Or even for use as a drinks table. There is a round mauve medallion that looks to be a Chinese character at the center.

Many collect these bright stools because, in Asian culture, elephants symbolize protection, good luck, wisdom, and fertility. The versatile statue can be used on a patio as a plant stand, as a side table in any space, or even as extra seating in a pinch.
